Engineering<br />
Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the<br />
mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and<br />
practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize,<br />
economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of<br />
mankind. Engineering education requires four or more years of study<br />
to attain the skills required to become a member of this profession.<br />
<strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> offers the first two years of core courses along with<br />
additional prerequisites which may be transferred into engineering<br />
programs offered at four-year institutions. <strong>Phoenix</strong> <strong>College</strong> works<br />
directly with all of the Arizona universities to ensure that the lower<br />
division courses taken here will transfer directly into their engineering<br />
programs.<br />
The basic mathematics and science requirements are rigidly<br />
prescribed in engineering curricula. Students attending <strong>Phoenix</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> for lower division courses should complete the courses listed<br />
below for transfer to a four-year engineering program. In addition,<br />
students may complete the lower division general education<br />
requirements.<br />

CHM151, CHM154, CHM235, and CHM236.<br />
• Mining and Petroleum Engineering students should take CHM151,<br />
CHM154, CHM235, CHM236 and GLG140.<br />
It is suggested that students plan their engineering curriculum and<br />
general education electives in consultation with an engineering<br />
advisor.<br />
