Engineering
Area of Concentration within the A.S. in STEM (Transfer)
Intended to provide the basis for transfer to a four-year college engineering
course of study. Every course is not applicable to all engineering fields and
different schools vary in their transfer requirements. Students entering the
program who lack precalculus must satisfy this requirement before taking MA
210 Calculus I. Therefore, it is imperative that each student meets regularly with
an advisor to establish and/or confirm a personal direction for future study.
• Students must complete their credit
English and Mathematics
within the first
24 credits.
• One course must meet the
cultural competence graduation requirement
.
• CORE: The General Education CORE
is that foundation of the higher education
curriculum providing a coherent intellectual experience for all students. Students
should check with an advisor or the transfer institution (ARTSYS) before selecting
General Education CORE requirements.
http://artsys.usmd.edu/• In some General Education categories (Mathematics, Biological & Physical
Sciences), a 4-credit course selected from the GenEd course list will satisfy the
requirement in place of a 3-credit course. Students should check with an advisor
before selecting these courses.
• For the PE/Health requirement, a 3-credit Physical Education or Health course may
satisfy the requirement in place of a 1-credit course. Students should check with
an advisor before selecting this course.
• Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in EN 101.
• Students must complete a minimum of nine credits at the 200-level.

Choose courses in consultation with an advisor. Depending on a student’s
transfer goals, recommended courses may include EG 110 Engineering
Statistics, EG 210 Mechanics of Materials, EG 211 Engineering Dynamics,
MA 212 Calculus III, or PY 204 Introductory Physics II. STEM Electives must
be from Biology, Chemistry, Computer & Information Sciences, Engineering,
Mathematics, or Physics.
