Associate in Science Physics/Engineering · Palomar College · 2026-2027 Catalog

Provides the background to begin upper division coursework and will prepare the student for entry level jobs that require a knowledge of engineering and engineering related topics. The highly sequential nature of the engineering curriculum necessitates completion of lower division requirements before being admitted into upper division courses.

Engineering students are urged to give priority to the completion of major field requirements over the completion of general education requirements. Engineering lower division requirements are not the same for different universities. These institutions recommend that their particular lower division requirements be completed before transfer. Students should seek early assistance in planning their specific program from the Physics/Engineering Department, Counseling Department, or the Transfer Center.

Learning Outcome(s):

  1. Students will build and analyze AC and DC circuits using mesh or node analysis.
  2. Students will analyze and solve static and/or dynamic problems.
