Engineering Courses:
The Engineering program prepares students to transfer to four-year college and university programs. Most universities have several common undergraduate core classes regardless of the student's eventual area of specialization (i.e. civil, mechanical, electrical/electronic, aeronautical, agricultural, chemical, industrial, etc.). However, the A.S. program is flexible enough to allow students to tailor their coursework to fit the specific requirements of their selected transfer institution. Students must work closely with their counselors and engineering faculty to assure a smooth transition.
