This degree is designed to accommodate the differing requirements of a wide variety of transfer institutions and major options. Because admission and major preparation requirements vary at each transfer Pre-Engineering institution, courses used to complete this degree should be selected with the assistance of a Miramar College counselor.\n\n**Award Note:**\nThe Associate Degree requires a minimum of 60 degree applicable semester units.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Pre-Engineering Studies Program will be able to:**\n\n1.  Demonstrate understanding of a physical phenomenon using scientific theory.\n2.  Solve problems related to concepts in the physical sciences.\n3.  Visualize important physical features of given physical phenomenon.\n4.  Interpret scientific results collected by others and/or assess the validity of results collected in a physical science laboratory."
