Engineering Transfer - ENGR.AS

By choosing the appropriate math, science, and engineering electives in the 3rd and 4th semesters, a student can major in Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Industrial or Mechanical Engineering. See see suggested course of studies for ENGR programs. .

All engineering majors have a common first year curriculum. The following pages list the typical second year curriculum for each specialized engineering field. By careful selection of engineering, mathematics, and science electives during a student’s second year, with the assistance of his/her advisor, the student can be prepared to transfer to almost any college or university in the country. Most four year engineering schools have a “General Education” component that requires a broad and diverse selection of social science and humanities electives. It is recommended that students select SOC-101 - Introduction to Sociology, ECN-101 - Introduction to Macroeconomics, and HIS-100 - Survey of Early Western Civilization, while at STCC.

Upon the successful completion of requirements for this program, the degree of Associate in Science in Engineering and Science Transfer will be awarded.

Program Goals

Graduates of this program:

  1. Are qualified to transfer to a 4-year engineering or science-based curriculum.
  2. Are prepared to complete their Baccalaureate Degree in two additional years.
  3. Have developed critical thinking skills.
  4. Have developed mathematical methods of problem-solving.
  5. Can communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.
  6. Can conduct research from a variety of sources.
  7. Are computer literate.

Applying to this Program

Applicants to this program are expected to begin directly with Calculus per the program pathway.  Conditional acceptance is possible for applicants who demonstrate readiness for Pre-Calculus as determined by the College’s math placement exam.  Those who do not demonstrate pre-calculus readiness will be admitted to the STEM Studies program, a career/technician-focused pathway.
