The Engineering Transfer curriculum offered at Mt. Hood Community College is designed to closely follow the pre-engineering program at regional universities and to meet the requirements for an Associate of Science degree from MHCC. This program is tailored for civil and mechanical engineering majors. However it may be modified to meet the needs of students transferring into other disciplines of engineering. In all cases the student should meet with their adviser to create an educational plan that meets their specific needs.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
- Apply mathematic, science, and engineering skills
- Design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data
- Design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
- Function on multi-disciplinary teams
- Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- Describe professional and ethical responsibility
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue an engineering degree at a college or university.* To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options on pages 10-15 of the printed catalog.
Students receiving financial aid must be certificate or degree seeking and must follow official MHCC certificate or degree requirements.
Admission and degree requirements vary among colleges and universities, and by engineering field. Students are advised to:
- Make early contact with the transfer university to confirm specific admission/major/degree requirements.
- Prior to fall term, consult with a faculty adviser or the MHCC Academic Advising and Transfer Center to develop an educational plan.
- In addition, you will need to keep abreast of any changes in the program of your choice. It is your responsibility as a student to learn the program requirements of the school that you plan to attend.
*Note that community colleges do not award transfer degrees in a subject area, but do award an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree, an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer – Business degree or an Associate of Science degree.
The MHCC curriculum has entry-level expectations of students for skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
NOTE: This plan is specifically designed for transfer to a four-year institution and is not intended for students who seek direct entry into the job market after completion of an associate degree. MHCC’s Engineering Technology program offers an AAS program intended for direct entry to the engineering technician job market.
