No. of Credits: 60-61
Contacts: Dr. Stephanie McCaslin, Associate Dean and Chair, Mathematics and Engineering
Byron Brezina, Program Coordinator
The Engineering, AS degree is designed for students planning to transfer to a Bachelor of Science program in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, or civil engineering (as well as other engineering disciplines). Students take a set of core courses and choose electives appropriate for their specific discipline: mechanical, aerospace, chemical, or civil engineering. Upon completing the engineering curriculum, students may transfer to a Bachelor of Science degree program in engineering.
The maximum number of credits accepted in transfer from other institutions to this program is 45.
Career Opportunities:
Mechanical, aerospace, chemical, or civil engineer (as well as other engineering disciplines) after transfer and completion of a Bachelor of Science program in engineering.
Transfer Options:
A complete list of all transfer opportunities can be found on the Transfer Services page
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

University of Maryland Transfer Notes:
University of Maryland, A. James Clark School of Engineering has the following minimum transfer requirements (these are the same for UMCP students transferring into the engineering school):
1. Students must have at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA in all college-level work at all colleges attended (2.999 is not acceptable).
2. Students must have taken the following gateway courses:
a. CHE-1350 (Chemistry for Engineers) or CHE-1210/1210L (Chemistry II), with a minimum grade of C
b. MTH-1210 (Calculus II), with a minimum grade of B
c. PHY-1310 (Physics I), with a minimum grade of B
3. Grade and Retake Policy: Only one gateway or performance review course may be repeated to earn the required grade and that course may only be repeated once. When more than one course can satisfy a gateway requirement, taking a second course from the list will count as a repeat. (Please note that a grade of “W” is considered an attempt and must be repeated).
Notes:
* Courses requiring a prerequisite or co-requisite
Course Indicators: English Composition (E), Arts (A), Cultural and Global Awareness (C), Humanities (H), Biological/Physical Sciences (S), Social/Behavioral Sciences (B), Mathematics (M)
