### Description

The **Associate of Science Degree in Engineering** will prepare those students interested in laying a foundation for further study and for a bachelor's degree in an engineering field from a four-year college or university.

This degree program is for t**he Associate of Science Degree in Engineering** only and fulfills many of the requirements and foundation courses for transfer to baccalaureate engineering-related majors, but does not satisfy all transfer requirements for specific institutions. Students should consult with a counselor for major preparation for specific universities and colleges.

To acquire the **Associate of Science Degree in Engineering**, students must complete the required major courses below with a grade of "C" or better or of “P” if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, along with either of the following: Rio Hondo College General Education (RHC GE) or California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.
