Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.

Curriculum Code: 0399
Will Earn Upon Completion: Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree
Why major in Engineering?
Program matches the first two years of an engineering baccalaureate preparing for students for seamless transfer. Students select engineering major elective courses from one of the branches of engineering that they plan to specialize in after transferring, such as electrical, biomedical, chemical, civil computer, or mechanical engineering.
If I major in Engineering can I transfer to an upper-division college or university?
Curriculum prepares for transfer to upper-division colleges and universities. Consult catalog where you plan to transfer to, to select courses toward your baccalaureate.
Are there any requirements I must satisfy before I start taking courses in my major?
Based on placement testing, you may be required to take developmental courses in English and/or Mathematics before taking courses in your major.
How long will it take me to complete this degree?
If you do not need developmental courses and you register for an average of 16 credits each semester, degree can be completed in two years, which may be shortened by taking summer courses.
Where should I direct specific questions?
Contact the Division (973) 877-3302.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Analyze engineering drawings including concept of scale and orthographic projection;
- Assist engineers and technicians in performing tasks relevant to selected branch of engineering;
- Complete written engineering reports using skills acquired in curriculum courses;
- Write computer programs to solve engineering-based problems using skills acquired in curriculum courses;
- Demonstrate knowledge of engineering principles such as mechanics, materials, and systems; and
- Utilize computer software applications used in engineering including computer aided design (CAD).
