While there are no specific course requirements for pre-engineering at Luther, the following courses are suggested for students interested in pursuing careers in engineering:

For All Branches of Engineering

• Physics
• • PHYS 151/152: General Physics I/II or PHYS 181/182: Classical Physics I/II
• Chemistry
• • CHEM 151/152: Chemical Principles I/II or CHEM 201: Advanced Chemical Principles
• Math
• • MATH 151: Calculus I, MATH 152: Calculus II, MATH 240: Linear Algebra, MATH 253: Vector Calculus, MATH 351: Ordinary Differential Equations, MATH 452: Partial Differential Equations, MATH 453: Methods of Applied Mathematics

For Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, or Similar Fields

• PHYS 238: Statics
• PHYS 352: Mechanics of Materials
• PHYS 361: Classical Mechanics 

For Electrical or Computer Engineering
