ENGINEERING

Associate in Science



Program Details

Courses in this program closely mirror the lower division major preparation required of 1st and 2nd year students enrolled in baccalaureate level Engineering programs. The "Required for all Tracks" courses are standard major preparation for most engineering degrees. Students then choose one of the four tracks to meet additional lower division preparation required for their particular area of engineering study.
