| This program is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering in one of several fields. The engineering program at TCC, leading to the two-year Associate in Science (AS) degree, includes general education courses and engineering courses, which cover theoretical concepts and practical applications. Graduates with the baccalaureate degree find careers in aerospace, computer, environmental, civil, electrical/electronics, mechanical, mining/metallurgical, and nuclear engineering.
In addition to the college’s general admission requirements, admission to the engineering curriculum requires satisfactory completion of the following high school units or their equivalents: four units of English; four units of mathematics (two units of algebra, one unit of plane geometry, one unit of advanced mathematics or trigonometry and solid geometry); one unit of laboratory science and one unit of social studies. All students are required to complete Student Assessment Program (placement) tests in reading, composition, and mathematics. The college has a required developmental program for students who need to remedy deficiencies in these areas.
Students need to consult with a transfer counselor or academic advisor to plan programs and select electives that will meet the requirements of the college or university, which they plan to attend. The Associate in Science (AS) degree normally takes four full-time semesters to complete.
