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 your UCC advisor to develop a custom student educational planner (SEP) 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:

1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. Demonstrate ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
3. Take part in participating on teams whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
4. Develop and utilize appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and make use of engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
5. Discover and make use of new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Career Considerations

Engineering is a broad field with more than 20 specialties. Engineering is widely considered as one of the most lucrative and in-demand career choices, with multiple options for engineering disciplines and job types.

Advising Notes

• Careful Advising is required to insure proper transfer. ENGR 111 and consultation with Advisor should be used to develop the correct term-by-term planner.
• Courses must be passed with a grade of C or better.
