Associate of Science Degree - Curriculum Guide

The Engineering Transfer curriculum offered at Mount Hood Community College is designed to closely follow the pre-engineering program at Oregon State University and to meet the eligibility requirements of Portland State University's School of Engineering and other professional engineering schools. This is intended, specifically, for Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical engineering majors, but is applicable to other majors as well. In all cases, the transfer student must make application to the transfer institution and also the College (or School) of Engineering at the university to which they plan to transfer.

The curriculum consists of courses available for students pursuing a typical baccalaureate degree (Bachelor of Science) in Engineering. Full time students with satisfactory prerequisites who make good academic progress can expect to be prepared to transfer to the 4-year school of their choice after 2 years of full time study. Note, this is not a degree program, nor is it limited entry.

A bachelor's degree in engineering prepares a student to plan, design, and build projects in both private industry and the public sector, with high income earning potential. This curriculum is challenging, time-consuming, and full of potential rewards for students willing to take on the challenge. The Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree is not recommended for this major.

The MHCC curriculum has entry-level expectations of the student for skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. Prior to fall term registration, it is highly recommended that you consult the MHCC engineering transfer engineering advisor or Advising and Counseling (see below). You should also make early contact with an advisor at the institution to which you plan to transfer. It is especially important to do so, because the requirements at each institution may vary be engineering field. General education requirements vary from institution to institution; students should consult with the 4-year school they plan on transferring to for general education requirements. In addition, you will need to keep abreast of any current changes in the program of your choice. It is your responsibility as a student to learn the program requirements from the school that you plan to attend.
