Purpose: The Engineering Associate of Science degree is intended for those who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a baccalaureate degree in engineering. The program provides students access to all Engineering courses so that if they aspire to prepare for a program that does not fall into one of the prescribed tracks, their experience can be customized. Students should consult their academic advisor and transfer institution before selecting elective courses.

Admission Requirements: All students must demonstrate college readiness through transcript review or informed self-placement. Based on this review students may request or be required to enroll in prerequisite or corequisite math and/or English courses. For admission to this program, students must qualify for MTH 263 or above.

Pathways: Students should consult with an academic advisor to select the appropriate coursework for one of six pathways: Biomedical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical/Aerospace, or General Engineering.
