Program Description

Engineering is the profession in which knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience and practice, is applied to economically use the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of society.

The two-year program at SFCC is intended to prepare the student for transfer to a four-year engineering college at the junior level. The following curriculum outline is designed to meet most lower-division requirements of various engineering disciplines and should be used as a guide to obtain an Associate in Science Transfer Track 2 (AS-T 2) degree in Engineering. This degree requires 5 writing intensive credits ("W") and a design component. The "W" requirement can be met in several courses and the design component can be met with various ENGR courses.

Individual consultation with an Engineering adviser is strongly encouraged. 

Course of Study

  1. Complete AS-T 2 degree requirements, or consult a college counselor/adviser for AA degree requirements.
  2. Carefully check the foreign language requirements of the college to which you plan to transfer. If possible, complete these requirements while enrolled at the community college.
  3. Completion of recommended courses in a pre-major for transfer does not necessarily assure a student admission to a four-year institution or a specific program.

To ensure an even more effective transfer, the State has established set curriculum having special "exit codes" for the AS-T 2 degree. Civil, mechanical, aeronautical, industrial, and the general engineering disciplines would take most all of the outlined courses for this special graduation exit code. See the engineering adviser for curriculum sheets in the following special exit code areas: electrical/computer engineering; bio/chemical engineering; and engineering technology degrees.

College Transfer Information

While students attend college for a variety of reasons, most attend for the purpose of acquiring the knowledge and skills needed for entering a particular field of work, occupation or profession. Because the first two years of college are frequently spent meeting general college or university requirements, many options are available to students who plan to complete their freshman and sophomore years at SCC or SFCC.

Students should always check the requirements of the four-year institution from which they intend to graduate. Careful planning is necessary, as transferability of specific courses or programs is determined solely by the college to which the student transfers. Transfer guides, available in counseling centers at SCC and SFCC, should be consulted by all students planning to transfer.

Students who have not made a decision regarding a transfer institution should follow the Community Colleges of Spokane requirements for the associate of arts degree. These requirements will satisfy most of the general course requirements for graduation from other institutions. Requirements for the associate of arts degree and a complete listing of courses available will be found in the college catalog.

Counseling Services

Educational, vocational and personal counseling services are available to all students through the counseling centers at SCC or SFCC. Students may obtain professional counseling services prior to registration to plan their program of study. In addition, faculty advisers are assigned to each student to provide further assistance during the year.

1The AS-T 2 requires 5cr of Social Science, 5cr of Humanities and 5cr from either Social Sciences or Humanities (a course in Macro Economics is recommended). The AS-T 2 also requires 10cr chosen from the Bioengineering/Chemical pre-Engineering elective list. Consultation with the engineering adviser is strongly recommended for major-related courses specific to student's choice of transfer institution and discipline exit code.
2The AS-T 2 requires 5cr of Social Science, 5cr of Humanities, and 5cr from either Social Sciences or the Humanities. The AS-T 2 also requires 10cr in engineering electives. Consultation with the engineering adviser is strongly recommended for major-related courses specific to student's choice of transfer institution and discipline exit code.
3Although two quarters of computer language are required for the AS-T 2, Gonzaga University requires CS& 141 only for Electrical Engineering, and Eastern Washington University requires CS 255 only for Electrical Engineering.
4Although required for the AS-T 2 degree, Gonzaga University does not require Math 220 (Linear Algebra) for Electrical or Computer Engineering, but requires ENGR 201 (Statics) for Electrical Engineering.
5Students should consult intended transfer institution for computer language requirements.
6Eastern Washington University does not require linear algebra for Mechanical Engineering.
