Engineering Science

Associate of Science

The Engineering Science degree program is designed for students planning to obtain a four-year engineering degree. Engineering is the practical application of scientific theory and principles, and this program develops a strong foundation in mathematics and physical science and provides an introduction to the fundamental aspects of engineering which are developed more thoroughly in the remaining two years of the baccalaureate program. Students who complete the associate degree can transfer to other colleges or universities in many engineering disciplines including civil, chemical, computer, electrical, geological, mechanical, metallurgical, mining, computer science, and engineering physics. All courses in the Engineering Science program are approved for direct transfer to the College of Engineering and the Mackey School of Earth Sciences and Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, and up to 64 WNC credits may be directly applied toward a baccalaureate degree.

Total Requirements: 64 credits

Note: Most engineering courses are not offered every semester, so technical and non-technical electives should be scheduled to permit the student to enroll in those engineering courses which are most pertinent to his/her preferred discipline of engineering.
