Electrical Engineering Track, Engineering Science AS


: 402

Return to: Engineering Science AS  

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 track 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 track in engineering science will lead to the award of the AS in engineering science.

This track will prepare students to transfer to a four-year university with a major in electrical 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 electrical engineering program at the University of Maryland, College Park. A suggested course sequence for full-time students follows; all students should consult an engineering adviser. 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 , MATH 181 , or ENEE 150 .
  • 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 Accuplacer Math Test, AP/IB credit, or transfer credits.
  • The pre-requisites for ENEE 150  are MATH 181  and ENEE 140  or consent of instructor if you have structured programming experience.

Program Outcomes


Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:

  • Identify, formulate, and solve basic physics and engineering problems in analog and digital circuits.
  • Design simple systems and circuits using analytical and numerical methods in the area of Electrical Engineering.
  • Use appropriate computer application software in electrical engineering.
