ENGINEERING
Associate of Science Degree Mathematics · Rio Hondo College · 2026-2027 Catalog
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 the 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.
