Degrees
A.S., Engineering Fundamentals Degree – 60 credits
The A.S. in Engineering Fundamentals prepares students for transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor’s degree in engineering, including civil, electrical, mechanical, or other engineering disciplines. The program covers courses typically offered in first and second years of an accredited engineering curriculum in the United States. Students are strongly encouraged to become informed of the rules and requirements related to the major department at the four-year college or university to which they plan to transfer. This program also prepares students seeking employment with a strong foundation in engineering principles and practices. Students are advised to work with academic advisors and counselors to complete a course plan.
ENGR 1000 meets the FYE requirement for new, entering, first time college students and/or students with fewer than 12 post-high school transfer credits and is especially encouraged for students interested in Engineering.
