You’ll take the math, science and engineering fundamentals courses required in the first two years of a bachelor’s degree engineering program, preparing you for a seamless transfer to a four-year institution. Through electives, you will also explore your particular interests in a subdiscipline of the field, such as civil, environmental, electrical, computer, mechanical, industrial or chemical engineering. 62-64credits Associate in Science Associate in Science (AS) degrees are typically completed in two (2) years and designed for immediate workforce entry Learn more Most jobs in engineering require at least a bachelor’s degree, and GCC advisors are committed to working with our students to meet their specific career and transfer goals. GCC participates in the College of Engineering Consortium Agreement with UMass Amherst and Western New England University, among others, to ease the transfer process. We also have the flexibility to adjust your engineering concentration electives to match the transfer requirements of most colleges. GCC graduates have successfully transferred to UMass, Northeastern University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Western New England University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and others. What's Next?Transfer to a Baccalaureate program as an engineering major. GCC graduates have successfully transferred to University of Massachusetts, Northeastern University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Western New England University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and others.
