General Engineering Area of Concentration, Engineering Science AS: 410

: 410

This curriculum is designed to provide the first two years of a four-year program leading to the award of a BS in engineering. A student planning to transfer to any baccalaureate degree granting institution should follow the appropriate area of concentration listed below in consultation with an engineering advisor. The student should also visit the Montgomery College Engineering Advising website www.montgomerycollege.edu/engineeringadvising for up-to-date comprehensive information on transfer requirements for all universities and colleges with which we have an articulated transfer program.

Completion of all requirements for any area of concentration in engineering science will lead to the award of the AS in engineering science.

This area of concentration will prepare students to transfer to a four-year university with a major in general engineering. Specific requirements in colleges vary, and the student preparing for a particular institution may, with approval, change the sequence listed below. A suggested course sequence for full-time students follows; all students should consult an engineering advisor. The student should also visit the Montgomery College Engineering Advising website at www.montgomerycollege.edu/engineeringadvising for up-to-date comprehensive information.
