The Engineering Field of Study is preparation for a Bachelor of Science in several disciplines within the school of engineering at a college or university. The completed Field of Study is designed to transfer to any Texas public college or university.
Career Opportunities
Engineers presently occupy more than two-thirds of all technical positions and a large percentage of managerial positions in industry. The Engineering Program prepares students for transfer to a college or university where they can specialize in such disciplines as:
Aerospace Engineering
Agriculture Engineering
Biochemical and Food Engineering
Bioengineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Science Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Forest Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Nuclear Engineering
Ocean Engineering
Petroleum Engineering
Radiological Health Engineering
AS CORE CURRICULUM 45 credit hours
Additional Graduation Requirement 3 credit hours
See AS Core 45 credit hours
Students in this Field of Study need a higher proficiency in computer science and are advised to substitute COSC 1436 for COSC 1300. Within the FOS there are courses listed which will satisfy requirements for both the AS Core Curriculum and the FOS.
RECOMMENDED CORE COURSES FOR ENGINEERING
Mathematics 1 : MATH 2320, MATH 2413, MATH 2414, or MATH 2415
Natural Sciences 2 : CHEM 1412, PHYS 2425, or PHYS 2426
1 Please check prerequisites for these courses. All four courses are required for the Engineering Field of Study. One course will be used to fulfill core requirements, and a second course will be used to fulfill degree requirements.
