The Engineering transfer program provides a balanced pre-engineering curriculum to prepare students for transfer to a bachelor’s degree program.
Program Description
The AS transfer track closely follows the first two years of study for engineering programs at most universities in Oregon. Majors offered at OSU include Architectural Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering Management, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing, and Chemical Engineering, as well as Biomedical, Forest, Geological, Mining, Metallurgical, and Nuclear Engineering. PSU and OIT offer degrees in Civil and Environmental, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical and Computer Engineering. OIT also offers majors in Geomatics (Surveying) and Renewable Energy. Many of the core classes taken during the first two years of study are the same for all engineering majors. However, it is important that students work closely with the UCC engineering faculty advisor and UCC Advising and Career Center to develop a custom educational planner for transfer to the university of choice.
Program Outcomes
Students who complete the Engineering Associate of Science will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- Demonstrate ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- Take part in participating on teams whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- Develop and utilize appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and make use of engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- Discover and make use of new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
OSU Degree Partnership Program
UCC works closely with Oregon State University (OSU) so that students can dual-enroll, pursue any degree that OSU offers, reap cost savings, and benefit from access to more scholarships and services. Learn more.
Pre-Engineering and Certificates
If you are not prepared to begin Calculus in your first year of the Engineering transfer program, you should consider starting with the Engineering and Drafting Technician One-Year Certificate. This one-year program can serve as a Pre-Engineering program for students interested in future transfer. A Drafting Pathway Certificate can also be earned by completing 16 hours of drafting courses. These Pathway and One-Year Certificates provide stand-alone, job-ready skills and expanded opportunities for summer internships. If you are interested in certificates in the Engineering Technology programs, you should see the Engineering Technology web page.
