2023-2024 College Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Engineering Science, A.S.

HEGIS: 5609.00
PROGRAM CODE: 87212
PROGRAM DIRECTOR: Dr. John Mikalopas

DEPARTMENT: PHYSICAL SCIENCES

The Engineering Science AS is designed to provide students the foundation in engineering and related physical sciences and mathematics courses in preparation for transfer to baccalaureate programs. Courses focus on understanding the principles and methods of engineering, application of mathematics, science, and computing techniques to the study of and solution to engineering problems, the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities of engineers, and support quantitative reasoning, scientific writing, and research.

The curriculum presented here applies to students who started the major in Fall 2023 or Spring 2024. If you enrolled as a matriculant prior to that, please see the College Catalog for the year you started the major as a matriculant for the curriculum requirements that apply to you.

Consultation with the Program Advisor is required.

Degree Map:

Degree Map for Engineering Science, A.S. - MAT 9010 or MAT 9B0 or MAT 900 Placement

Degree Map for Engineering Science, A.S. - MAT 1500 Placement - Calculus I

Your Degree Map contains the suggested term-by-term course sequence for your academic path towards graduation.

To ensure successful and timely completion of your degree, it is recommended that you meet with your academic advisor to discuss your unique map.

Please note some courses may only be offered once an academic year.
