This associate degree curriculum provides a basic program of
engineering coursework for students planning to transfer to a
university engineering program. The program includes common
lower- division engineering courses and also the foundational
science and mathematics coursework required for most university
engineering programs. While the program reflects a typical lower
division university engineering curriculum, it may not fully satisfy
lower-division requirements at all engineering university programs.
Thus, students should communicate with their desired university to
determine the required coursework to transfer with upper-division
status. Transfer students are also advised to take job skills courses to
improve their employability (see paragraph below).
Students must take coursework for the specified number of units
from the block of courses below labeled “engineering or engineeringrelated courses”. Students should select the courses based on major:
For mechanical engineering majors: ENGR 235, 240, 250, 250L, 280,
281, 125, 103 (or 130A)
For civil engineering majors: ENGR 235, 240, 280, 281, 125, 183;
For electrical engineering majors: ENGR 250, 250L, 183; CMPR 120,
121
The program may also provide the necessary background for
employment as a drafter, designer, or engineering technician.
However, in these cases, students are advised to also pursue
associate degrees or certificates in the appropriate career education
areas to improve their employability.
For instance, drafter employment may require a degree or certificate
in drafting or CAD technology. Engineering technician employment
may require a degree or certificate in engineering technology. This is a sample map based on the 21-22 catalog. Please meet with a counselor to confirm the requirements for achieving your educational goals.

the physical universe, its life forms and its natural phenomena.
Courses in math emphasize the development of mathematical
and quantitative reasoning skills beyond the level of intermediate
algebra. Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of
the methodologies of science as investigative tools. Students will also
examine the influence that the acquisition of scientific knowledge
has on the development of the world’s civilizations. Courses from
both mathematics and science must be included in the 18 units
selected for the emphasis. This emphasis may of interest to those
planning to pursue careers in actuarial science, business, computer
science, engineering, forensics, health professions, research, science,
teaching and technical writing.
Note: Although a course may be listed in more than one area
of emphasis of the Liberal Arts degree, it may only be used to
meet a requirement for a single emphasis. This is a sample map based on the 21-22 catalog. Please meet with a counselor to confirm the requirements for achieving your educational goals.
