General Engineering
A.S. Degree Engineering · Antelope Valley College · 2026-2027 Catalog
The Associate in Science in General Engineering provides students with a broad foundation in the principles of engineering, mathematics, and physical sciences. This degree is designed to support students who are exploring multiple engineering disciplines or who intend to transfer to a university program that does not align precisely with a single engineering track. The program enhances students’ problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and technical skills. Students completing this degree will be prepared for junior-level coursework in a variety of engineering fields, including but not limited to Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Civil, and Computer Engineering. The curriculum includes core courses common to most engineering transfer programs, allowing students to tailor their education to their interests while remaining within an eligible program of study. The requirements for an Associate in Science in General Engineering may be satisfied by completing the courses listed below in addition to the associate degree requirements. (See Graduation/Associate Degree Requirements.)
