An A.A. Degree Program (Transfer)
Application Code 23
For Curriculum Information Contact the Science and Technology Division—
Room ST-248—410-772-4827
This program is designed for students preparing to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Engineers apply principles of physics and mathematics in the design, development, implementation and maintenance of materials, structures and systems. Specific applications of engineering include aerospace, biological resources, ceramic/materials, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, industrial, manufacturing and mechanical. In addition to acquiring a solid background in chemistry, mathematics and physics, students enrolled in this program will acquire a strong foundation in engineering theory and will engage in project based laboratory experiences. This program is specifically designed to transfer to UMCP’s Engineering Program. Students interested in this curriculum, however, are advised to check the requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer.
GENERAL EDUCATION CORE Credits (General education core credits in excess of 36 will transfer as general electives or courses related to the major. Each student’s total of general education and required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.)
