Transfer ENGINEERING

The Associate of Science degree program in Engineering 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 two-year engineering degree program includes general education 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.

 

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.

Engineering courses required for the transfer engineering degree are available only at the Virginia Beach campus.
