### Summary

Upon completion of the required pattern of engineering courses, an Associate of Science Degree in Engineering will be granted. A Certificate of Achievement is also offered. The Engineering Program allows the student to fulfill the lower division engineering requirements for transfer programs to four-year institutions as well as acquire the necessary skills for employment in engineering.

**Award Note:**
The Associate Degree requires a minimum of 60 degree applicable semester units.

**Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Engineering Program will be able to:**

1.  Use proportional reasoning and graphical analysis to establish and analyze relationships between measured quantities.
2.  Apply conceptual and mathematical tools to correctly predict the future state of physical systems.
3.  Clearly communicate scientific principles, experimental results, and their implications.
