### Overview

The Engineering Fundamentals 1 Certificate of Achievement offers students a solid foundation in the fundamental principles that underlie all engineering disciplines. When combined with additional coursework, such as the Engineering Fundamentals 2 Certificate and a major-specific engineering certificate (such as Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, or Computer Engineering), it can lead to transfer to four-year universities for continued engineering studies. Designed to be completed early in a student’s academic journey, ideally during the freshman year, this certificate effectively prepares students for advancement into most sophomore-level engineering and STEM support courses.

### Learning Outcomes

#### Program Learning Outcomes

-   Acquire, develop, and refine the foundational skills in mathematics, physics, and science necessary to be successful in engineering courses.
-   Differentiate the various engineering branches as they apply to four-year academic pathways.
