Engineering, Associate in Science
Engineering, Associate in Science
The Associate in Science in Engineering develops and advances the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, and to evaluate solutions of these problems based on engineering concepts and principles.
Completing the Associate in Science in Engineering will prepare students for transferring to universities as well as entry-level engineering positions for those seeking immediate employment.
To earn an Associate in Science Degree in Engineering, students must:
- Complete a minimum of 60 associate degree-applicable semester units. Students planning to transfer should complete 60 CSU transferable or 60 UC transferable units, depending on their intended transfer destination.
- Complete the Moorpark College’s General Education requirements to include Areas 1-7 or the Cal-GETC Pattern. Transfer students should plan to complete the Cal-GETC Pattern. All courses for the Cal-GETC must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
- Complete the required coursework for the major as listed in the Moorpark College catalog with a grade of “C” or better (or a “P”) in each of the courses selected.
- Achieve a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better in courses used to satisfy the degree requirements.
- Complete a minimum of 12 semester units within the Ventura County Community College District.
