Engineering Admissions Requirements

Admission Requirements

All students seeking admission to an engineering program are initially placed into the Pre-Engineering program.  The Pre-Engineering program is designed for freshmen or transfer students who wish to pursue an engineering degree.  The program is open to those who meet both the combined and mathematics requirements listed below.

Any student, including transfer and current Pre-Engineering students, who meets the following two criteria may apply for full admission to an engineering program:

Mechanical Engineering

1. have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or better, and
2. have completed the following program-specific courses (or their equivalent) with a GPA of 2.5 or better.

• COMM 1315  
• ENGL 1301 , ENGL 1302  
• ENGR 1204 , ENGR 2301 , ENGR 2302  
• PHYS 2125 , PHYS 2126 , PHYS 2325 , PHYS 2326  
• MATH 2413 , MATH 2414  

Petroleum Engineering

• COMM 1315  
• ENGL 1301 , ENGL 1302  
• ENGR 2403  
• GEOL 1101 , GEOL 1301  
• PENG 2301  
• PHYS 2125 , PHYS 2126 , PHYS 2325 , PHYS 2326  
• MATH 2413 , MATH 2414  

Prior to enrolling in any upper level engineering courses, the student must complete all of the courses listed above and submit an application for full admission to the program’s discipline coordinator.  Only those students accepted into an engineering discipline will be allowed to take upper level engineering courses.

General Education Requirements (42 sch)

General Education Requirements are 42 semester credit hours as outlined in the U. T. Permian Basin Undergraduate Catalog.  In meeting these requirements, students should take the courses listed in the specific engineering program description.

Computer Use

Mechanical engineering students obtain skills in using computers in ENGR 1204 Engineering Graphics , a required lower division course.

Engineering Major

The major requirements for the Mechanical Engineering program and the Petroleum Engineering program are listed under those specific programs of study.
