Engineering Program
Engineering/Associate of Science Degree (A.S.)
Students who successfully complete this program are prepared to transfer as a college junior to a four-year institution to obtain a baccalaureate degree in one of the engineering disciplines, such as Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, to name a few.
Engineering is the application of science and mathematics to create solutions to problems based on human needs. An engineering degree can prepare students for a career in design, development, management, sales, research and various other fields, such as medicine, law, and politics. Engineers need to think logically, communicate effectively and be well-grounded in science and mathematics. The program offered at Prince George’s Community College provides the engineering, mathematics, science and general education courses that are taken by all engineering students in their freshman and sophomore years. A precalculus mathematics sequence is also available for students who need review or additional preparation before starting engineering and calculus courses.
Transferability: Credits earned at Prince George’s Community College toward the engineering degree transfer to the University of Maryland and other schools that award baccalaureate degrees in engineering. Students should consult with an advisor on transfer requirements. For more information about the Engineering Program, call 301-322-0151.
