Associate in Science Engineering · Chabot College · 2026-2027 Catalog
Description
The Associate in Science degree is designed to provide the foundation for subsequent transfer to a CSU or UC Engineering program. The core courses listed below fulfill most of the lower division requirements for the majority of CSU and UC engineering majors. The Associate in Science degree, as well as putting students on the path to transfer, ensures that students develop a strong foundation in engineering, mathematics, and the sciences. Students should note that transfer-course requirements vary among universities, and between majors in the different branches of engineering. Students seeking to transfer with an engineering major are strongly advised to consult with Chabot Counseling. Counselors will assist the student with development of a Student Educational Plan (SEP) that prepares the student for transfer to the desired university in the engineering major of his/her choice. Students are also encouraged to consult the ASSIST webpage (www.assist.org) for more information on engineering transfer-course agreements between Chabot College and the CSU/UC Colleges of Engineering.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- demonstrate an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health, safety, manufacturability, and sustainability;
- demonstrate an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
