Start here on the UW-Whitewater at Rock County campus and earn your whole degree through our collaborative program with UW-Platteville or pursue a pre-professional engineering emphasis. Both paths allow for an easy transfer into a different college or university&amp;rsquo;s engineering program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;URock&amp;rsquo;s engineering programs:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Affordable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Small class sizes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flexible online and in-person classes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Free tutoring and other resources&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Transferable credits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For more than 15 years, UW-Whitewater at Rock County has offered a flexible and affordable start to an engineering degree. You can earn your entire UW-Platteville engineering degree on the Rock County campus through our longstanding partnership through the &lt;a href="https://www.uwplatt.edu/department/engineering-partnerships" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;UW-Platteville Engineering Partnership&lt;/a&gt;, or PEP. For more about PEP, &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PaOds31L9g" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;listen to Andrew Schuler&lt;/a&gt;, who earned an associate degree at URock and then transferred to UW-Platteville to study mechanical engineering, or &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7VmHVOpcvs" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Doreen Beeler&lt;/a&gt;, who transferred to study electrical engineering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can start your early engineering coursework here &amp;mdash; in smaller classes and with supportive professors &amp;mdash; and then transfer anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;URock&amp;rsquo;s main engineering emphases are mechanical, electrical, and industrial. Jobs in these fields are in high demand &amp;mdash; projected to grow by 9% on average over the next 10 years.&lt;/p&gt;</BodyCopy>
