Engineering
Dual-Degree Program
Kentucky Wesleyan College in conjunction with engineering
schools nationwide, offers a Dual-Degree Program in
engineering. A student choosing this program would complete
the pre-engineering program at Kentucky Wesleyan and then
transfer to an accredited engineering school. Upon
completion of the accredited engineering school program the
student would receive an engineering degree from the
engineering school and a science degree from Kentucky
Wesleyan. The types of engineering degrees available from
accredited engineering schools include: Aerospace,
Aeronautical, Agricultural, Chemical, Civil, Computer,
Electrical, Environmental, Geological, Industrial,
Materials, Mechanical, Mining and Systems Engineering. The
types of science degrees available from Kentucky Wesleyan
include: Chemistry, Physics and Applied Mathematics.
The pre-engineering program at Kentucky Wesleyan is designed
to prepare engineering students for entrance into
engineering schools to complete a baccalaureate degree in
engineering. Engineering students are expected to have an
understanding of the general principles of chemistry,
physics, and calculus, and the ability to apply mathematical
techniques to the solution of a wide variety of technical
problems.
Specifically, we intend our engineering students to:
·
understand the role of engineering in society;
·
understand the basic principles of chemistry, physics, and
calculus;
·
understand and utilize the methods and techniques in
experimental science;
·
develop the ability for problem solving;
·
develop technical communication skills.
Kentucky Wesleyan College, in conjunction with the local
Green River chapter of the Kentucky Society of Professional
Engineers, has a student engineering society. All
engineering students are encouraged to become members of the
society and participate in engineering related activities
locally and within the region.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
At Kentucky Wesleyan the student would satisfy the General
Education Program, make significant progress toward a
traditional science degree and complete a minimum of 91
semester hours.

The student would then transfer to an accredited engineering
school and finish his or her engineering degree. To
complete his or her science degree at Kentucky Wesleyan, the
student would transfer back from the engineering school the
necessary courses to complete a science major and a total of
128 hours. Additional courses may be required at Kentucky
Wesleyan for some of the particular engineering and science
degrees.
