Purpose: The Associate of Science (A.S.) degree program in Engineering is a statewide common curriculum designed primarily for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Engineering.
Opportunities for engineering graduates should increase as the world continues to become more technologically oriented. Preparation for the engineering profession is based on a rigorous interdisciplinary program of study. Virginia Peninsula Community College offers options to complete the first two years of study in a broad range of engineering disciplines. The curriculum includes a basic core of courses in mathematics, science, engineering, and general studies, which provide the student with the fundamentals needed for transfer into a baccalaureate engineering program.
Based on elective selections, a student may select a pathway in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Computer, Civil, Biomedical or Chemical Engineering.
Course Offerings: Engineering courses in this program are offered primarily at the Hampton Campus both evening and daytime.
Special Notes: Students will not be able to enroll in engineering classes without a “C” or better in MTH 161 /MTH 162 . Engineering students are expected to be prepared to take MTH 263 to successfully follow the recommended curriculum.
