Engineering
An A.A. Degree Program (Transfer)
APPLICATION CODE 23
For Curriculum Information Contact the Science and Technology
Division—Room ST-248—410-772-4827

The rapid broadening of the scope of engineering has increased the
demand for trained professionals who understand the significance of
these advances and creatively apply the skills of high technology to
improve the quality of life. There are many diversified fields in engineering
including the classical fields of civil, mechanical, electrical/
electronic, industrial and chemical, as well as biomedical, communications,
ceramic and agricultural. Lately, major strides have been made
in the environmental and computer engineering fields, and aerospace
engineering is about to reach new dramatic heights in the near future
with the establishment of orbiting space stations and colonies on the
moon. Students interested in this curriculum are advised to check the
requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer.
