SAC Engineering Programs
SAC Engineering offers multiple Engineering programs and pathways that prepare students for a variety of engineering-related employment. Our programs focus on the major fields of engineering: civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering fields. However, the engineering transfer program is applicable to many other engineering fields as well (aerospace, environmental, biomedical, industrial, and many others). See the catalog for the required courses for these programs.
