: 407
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 civil engineering. Specific requirements in colleges vary, and the student preparing for a particular institution may, with approval, change the sequence listed below; this sequence of courses is articulated with the civil engineering program at the University of Maryland, College Park. 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.

Advising Notes
- Most engineering students will start at MC missing one or more pre-requisites for CHEM 131 , CHEM 132 , CHEM 135 , ENGL 102 , ENES 100 , and MATH 181 .
- The appropriate initial chemistry courses will be determined by the student’s score on the Chemistry Placement Exam, mathematics level, AP/IB credits, or transfer credits. Possible courses include CHEM 099 , CHEM 131 , CHEM 132 , or CHEM 135 . Either CHEM 132 or CHEM 135 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMCP. CHEM 131 -CHEM 132 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMBC, but CHEM 135 does not.
- The pre-requisite for ENGL 102 is ENGL 101 or ENGL 101A . English course placement is determined by the Accuplacer English/Reading Test.
- The co-requisite for ENES 100 is MATH 165 or higher.
- The pre-requisite for MATH 181 is MATH 165 (Precalculus). Mathematics initial course placement will be determined by the ALEKS Math Placement, Accuplacer Math Test, AP/IB credit, or transfer credits.
- UMCP’s ENCE 100, 200, 215, 305 for which MC has no equivalents, must be completed after transfer or through MTAP.
- ENES 221 is only required for Geotechnical/Structures Track at UMCP. ENES 120 is required for Environmental/Water Resources Track at UMCP.
- For Program elective, BIOL 105 and BIOL 106 , BIOL 150 , CHEM 203 , GEOL 101 , or PHYS 263 may be appropriate depending on the transfer institution.
- AA and AS programs require one global and cultural perspectives (GCP) General Education course.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program, a student will be able to:
- Identify, formulate, and solve basic physics and engineering problems in structural mechanics.
- Analyze and design simple structures using analytical and numerical methods in the area of civil engineering.
- Use appropriate computer programming and applications software in civil engineering.
