**Award Type:** Certificate of Achievement (16+ units)

The Engineering Fundamentals certificate provides most of the courses taken by first-year engineering students at a four-year university. The certificate will prepare students for further coursework in engineering and other STEM areas, as well as for internship opportunities. Completion of the certificate will serve as a solid foundation on a student’s path towards an associate’s degree and/or transfer in engineering.

**The graduate of the Certificate of Achievement (16+ units) in Engineering Fundamentals will:**

1.  Apply fundamental concepts of mathematics (through calculus), science and engineering.
2.  Conduct experiments and analyze and interpret data.
3.  Recognize the need for, and an ability to engage in, lifelong learning.
