Program Overview
Engineering Science
The Engineering Science transfer curriculum is intended for students planning a career in an engineering field. In general, the first year of study is common to all fields. The second year involves some divergence of course work, particularly in the fields of electrical and chemical engineering, but a high degree of similarity remains among courses in other engineering fields. Students who earn the Engineering Science associate degree may choose one of the following specific fields of engineering at a senior institution: aeronautical, astronautical, ceramic, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, industrial, mechanical, and metallurgical engineering. If you have chosen a transfer institution, consult them to make course selections. Students enrolling in this curriculum are urged to meet with an academic advisor each semester to review course selections and transfer plans.
Additional Program Information
Students are encouraged to select one course in either the Humanities and Fine Arts or the Social and Behavioral Sciences that emphasizes non-Western cultures or minority cultures within the United States.
