IECC Transfer Pathway
Engineering
Build the future. The Engineering transfer pathway at IECC leads to the Associate in Science degree and gives you the rigorous, affordable foundation you need to succeed in a four-year engineering program. Tackle calculus, physics, chemistry, and introductory engineering courses in small classes where instructors actually know your name. Transfer to a top engineering school ready to specialize in mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical, aerospace, or computer engineering — and design the technology, infrastructure, and innovations of tomorrow.

About this pathway
The Engineering transfer pathway, leading to the Associate in Science degree, is designed for students who plan to complete foundational coursework at IECC before transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor's degree in engineering. The program prepares students to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the solution of practical problems in industry, infrastructure, technology, and the environment. Coursework provides a rigorous foundation in calculus, physics, chemistry, and introductory engineering, while developing the problem-solving, computing, and communication skills essential to the profession. Topics of study include calculus and differential equations, general physics and chemistry, engineering graphics, computer programming for engineers, statics, and introductory engineering design. Graduates who complete a bachelor's degree will have the potential for employment as engineers in fields such as mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, industrial, biomedical, computer, environmental, and aerospace engineering, working in industry, government, research, and consulting.
At a glance
Here's how the degree breaks down by credit hours. A typical full-time semester is about 12–15 credit hours, so a 64-credit-hour degree usually takes two years of full-time study.
