Technical Engineering
The Technical Engineering Option is a general technology program. It is for students who do not want to major in any specific technology but want a broad background. If, after spending one year in this option, a student becomes interested in a specific technology, it is possible for him to transfer to that technology.
This program is also designed to interface with both the Engineering Transfer Program and the Pre-Engineering Option (Level 2) of the General Studies Program. A student, after spending one year in either of these programs, may transfer to the Technical Engineering option with no loss of credit.
Engineering and Science Transfer Program Goals
Graduates of this program:
- Are qualified to transfer to a 4-year engineering or science-based curriculum.
- Are prepared to complete their Baccalaureate Degree in two additional years.
- Have developed critical thinking skills.
- Have developed mathematical methods of problem-solving.
- Can communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.
- Can conduct research from a variety of sources.
- Are computer literate.
