ENGINEERING
Associate in Science Engineering · Cuesta College · 2026-2027 Catalog
The Associate in Science in Engineering degree closely mirrors the lower division major preparation required of 1st and 2nd year students enrolled in baccalaureate level Engineering programs. The "Required for all Tracks" courses are standard major preparation for most engineering degrees. Students then choose one of the four tracks to meet additional lower division preparation required for their particular area of engineering study.
Learning Outcome(s):
- Apply theory to solve real world engineering problems.
- Employ soft skills needed to effectively interact in a technical environment such as Engineering.
- Apply skills relevant to the engineering field.
- Transfer to a four year engineering school.
