Engineering Associate of Science

The Associate of Science (A.S.) degree program in Engineering is a statewide common curriculum designed primarily for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Engineering.

Opportunities for engineering graduates should increase as the world continues to become more technologically oriented. Preparation for the engineering profession is based on a rigorous interdisciplinary program of study. Virginia Peninsula Community College offers options to complete the first two years of study in a broad range of engineering disciplines. The curriculum includes a basic core of courses in mathematics, science, engineering, and general studies, which provide the student with the fundamentals needed for transfer into a baccalaureate engineering program.

Based on elective selections, a student may specialize in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Computer, Civil, Biomedical or Chemical Engineering.

Course Offerings: Engineering courses in this program are offered primarily at the Hampton Campus both evening and daytime.

Special Notes: Students will not be able to enroll in engineering classes without a “C” or better in MTH 161/MTH 162. Engineering students are expected to be prepared to take MTH 263 to successfully follow the recommended curriculum.

Students enrolled in this two-year transfer program may also be eligible for Passport Courses or Uniform Certificate of General Studies consideration. Please review the provided link for more information and meet with your advisor for details.
