Learn more about the program

The Electrical Engineering transfer pathway is designed to provide students with exceptional background knowledge in mathematics and science, allowing them to pursue further education and a career as an electrical engineer. Students also complete courses in other needed areas, such as communications and computer science. Additional elective courses are also available. Emphasis is placed on the application of knowledge and problem-solving in practical situations. The Associate of Science degree in Electrical Engineering allows students to complete the first two years of study with the advantages of a community college while preparing to transfer into a four-year engineering program. Students work closely with science and math faculty with access to science labs and computer facilities. Completing the Associate’s Degree supplies students with strong academic skills and an understanding of science, mathematics, and fundamental engineering principles appropriate for pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
