The Engineering program is primarily an engineering transfer program that is intended to meet requirements for entry into a four-year institution with junior standing. Students planning to transfer are encouraged to complete AS or AA degree requirements and should check with the transfer institution regarding specific course needs and transferable credits. The time needed to complete your program at Pierce may vary according to the requirements of your transfer institution and will also depend on the level of prior academic preparation. Students should work carefully with the faculty advisor to plan a program that will ensure successful completion and transfer of credits.
Students interested in exploring a possibility of majoring in Engineering and examining different types of engineering are encouraged to take ENGR 101: Intro to Engineering.
