Engineering Transfer Degree - Program Details

The engineering transfer degree at Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) will provide you with many of the core courses required at many of Oregon’s state universities. This makes transferring your credits and completing your bachelor's degree easy. Transfer schools include Oregon State University, Oregon Institute of Technology, Portland State University, and Washington State University.

Prepare for a Career in Engineering

In this program, you will complete classes designed to closely follow pre-engineering programs at other four-year schools. While you will not be ready to enter the workforce immediately, you will earn an associate of science degree and be well prepared to transfer to a university to complete your bachelor's degree.

Program Outcomes

After completing this program you'll be able to:

• Apply mathematics, 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 multidisciplinary teams.
• Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
• Describe professional and ethical responsibility.

Courses and Curriculum

As a full-time student at Mt. Hood Community College, you should be able to get your core credits completed within two years and then transfer to a four-year university after. Courses include classes such as engineering orientation, graphics, computation, physics, strength of materials, and dynamics.

Your Future in Engineering

The education you receive through our engineering transfer degree will set you up for success wherever you go next. As an example, MHCC student Angie Reed was able to advance her interior design skills by adding technical training. Now she works with engineers on large commercial projects, where contracts and earnings are significantly higher and more reliable.
