The A.S. degree in Engineering prepares students for transfer to four-year college and university programs in order to earn a bachelor's degree in a discipline of engineering. Upon successful completion of the degree requirements, students will possess a fundamental set of skills in the areas of chemistry, mathematics, physics and engineering. Most universities have several common undergraduate core classes regardless of the student’s eventual area of specialization (i.e. civil, mechanical, electrical/electronic, aeronautical, agricultural, chemical, industrial, etc.) However, the A.S. degree is flexible enough to allow students to tailor their coursework to fit the specific requirements of their selected transfer institution. Students must work closely with a counselor and engineering faculty to assure a smooth transition.
