<p>Currently, I’m attending my local community college working on getting an associates then transfer to a four-year university in Mechanical Engineering. The college offers a pre-engineering program which I’m kind of curious about. I know the point of the pre-engineering program is help follow a transfer curriculum but If I were to apply for a part-time job/internship…</p>

<p>Is it better to have a Pre-Engineering or Computer Science (same requirement, 3 extra class) on my resume? Just to show…</p>

<p>I was thinking that I would land more interviews for Computer Science than Pre-Engineering unless there is no difference…</p>

<p>Need your opinions.</p>

<p>I don’t see how it will help your resume unless it’s an AS or something and qualifies you for a job right away. Generally , pre-engineering includes single/multi variable calc , phy w/ calc 1 and 2 and so on. I can’t see how just those type of courses will help you get a job.</p>

<p>That’s what I thought too… What about Computer Science? I do take physics/calc + programming courses as well, I don’t know if that helps, plus I have a background in programming so basically it’s just something to put on the resume to qualify for an interview at least.</p>

<p>Also, when you mention AS, did you mean associates of science or applied science?</p>
