FAQ
Changing major to Pre-Engineering is the starting point for first and Second year students at Fresno State who started as first time freshman (i.e. not as transfer students) and are interested in ultimately changing their major into Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering, but have not yet completed MATH 76, PHYS 4A, and their major’s introductory courses, which include ENGR 1 and either CE 2, ECE 1, or ME 2. First or second year students who have already completed these courses may be eligible to change major directly into Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering. Geomatics Engineering does not currently use the Pre-Engineering program. Therefore, students changing their major to Geomatics Engineering should change directly into Geomatics Engineering rather than first changing their major to Pre-Engineering.
