Engineering - Associate of Science

Students can earn an Associate of Science in Chemical Engineering or an Associate of Science in Engineering, which prepares them to transfer to a university.  Students will build a foundational knowledge of engineering principles and explore concepts through labs, hands-on class activities, and extra-curricular opportunities. Students will gain marketable skills in empirical and quantitative analysis, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork while completing their coursework and laboratory requirements.

Students completing an Associate of Science (AS) degree at COM will meet the following requirements:

1. Complete a minimum of 60 semester credit hours that may be comprised of courses from the Core Curriculum, institutional requirements, and Fields of Study.
2. Maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average (GPA). Only credit-bearing College of the Mainland courses will be used to calculate a GPA.
3. Complete last 15 credit hours toward this degree at COM, with the exception of reverse transfer.
4. Satisfy TSI liability.

Full-Time Student Schedule

¹

Students should check with an advisor to ensure transferability of Linear Algebra to their receiving institution and program. For cases in which transferability of Linear Algebra cannot be established, students should take US History I.

²

Students should check with an advisor to ensure transferability of the coursework at the receiving institution and program. In general, students pursuing transfer to a Mechanical Engineering program should enroll in Electrical Circuits I, while students pursuing transfer to a Civil Engineering program should enroll in Federal Government.
