Why Pre-Engineering?

Students in the Pre-Engineering program at La Sierra University have the choice of either a program tailored, in consultation with a Pre-Engineering advisor, to meet specific entrance requirements at the engineering school of the students choice such as the University of California or California State University. Alternatively the Student may chose to follow the curriculum of the affiliation program in engineering at Walla Walla University. Upon completion of La Sierra’s Pre-Engineering program, students may transfer to Walla Walla with no loss of credits to complete the ABET accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree. The degree offers emphases in civil, computer, electrical/electronic, and mechanical engineering. A Bachelor of Science in bio-engineering that includes prerequisites for medical and dental schools is also available.

Employment Outlook

Overall engineering employment growth will vary depending on the specialty field. From 2014-2024 growth will be from as low as 3% for Architectural Engineering up to 23% for Biomedical Engineers. Engineers have traditionally been concentrated in slow-growing manufacturing industries, in which they will continue to be needed to design, build, test and improve manufactured products. However, increasing employment of engineers in faster growing service industries should generate most of the employment growth.  Overall job opportunities in engineering are expected to be favorable because the number of engineering graduates should be in rough balance with the number of job openings over this period.
