A strong background in mathematics and the physical sciences will be required to complete an engineering curriculum at a university. Thus, the core math and science courses should be mastered by all students planning to pursue an engineering degree.
Specific courses vary according to the engineering specialty.
Students are encouraged to contact Student Development faculty and Engineering faculty at Harper College and the transfer institution to determine which courses are specifically required. Upon successful completion, students will meet the requirements for the associate in engineering science degree. The remaining 19 credit hours are to be chosen from the courses listed below. Because of the variety of engineering disciplines, these courses should be selected based on the transfer institution's requirements with the assistance of the Student Development faculty and approval of Engineering Chair.
