通过参加UHCL的预工程课程，学生将有机会以负担得起的费用探索多个工程专业。这是在完全攻读专业之前测试工程学位的好方法。在整个计划中，学生将沉浸在物理，化学，数学和计算机科学教学中，他们需要为未来的工程学做好准备。在进行预设计时，学生还将注册典型的大学核心课程和基础课程。完成课程后，学生可以在达到UH转移入学标准的情况下申请入读休斯顿大学卡伦工程学院。这些学生还可以选择留在UHCL，并从UHCL获得工程学学位或转学到该国的任何其他大学。但是，由于工程学对某些学生而言可能是一项极富挑战性的学习课程，因此这些
By enrolling in the Pre-Engineering program at UHCL, students will have the opportunity to explore several engineering specializations at an affordable cost. It's a great way to test the waters of an engineering degree, before fully committing to the major. Throughout the program, students will be immersed in the physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science instruction they need to be prepared for a future in engineering.<br><br>While in pre-engineering, students will also enroll in typical university core curriculum and foundational curriculum courses. After completing the coursework, student may apply for admission to the University of Houston Cullen College of Engineering upon satisfaction of UH transfer admission standards. These students may also retain the option to stay at UHCL, and obtain an engineering degree from UHCL or transfer to any other university in the country.<br><br>However, because engineering may be an extremely challenging course of study to some students, these students may determine that it is not an appropriate choice. Therefore, advisors will assist these students in finding a course of study that is best suited to their unique talents and interests. The ultimate priority is for every student to graduate successfully from a best-fit major.
