Program Information
The Engineering Area of Concentration within STEM A.S. provides the basis for transfer to a four-year college engineering course of study. Every course is not applicable to all engineering fields, and schools vary in their transfer requirements. Students entering the program who lack precalculus must satisfy this requirement before taking MATH 185 Calculus I. Therefore, it is imperative that each student meets regularly with an advisor to establish and/or confirm a personal direction for future study.
Success in the program is defined by your ability to apply what you’ve learned in real-world scenarios. This program ensures that every student achieves the following core competencies:
- Solve engineering problems, individually and as part of team, using engineering tools and knowledge, including computer modeling.
- Articulate ideas and solutions using oral, visual, and written presentations.
- Apply professional and ethical guidelines of the engineering profession in the formulation of engineering designs.
Success starts with a solid plan. Your program's course sequence is designed to build your skills step-by-step. By following this plan, you ensure you're meeting all program requirements and staying on track.
