DEGREES
Engineering Science, A.S. Degree
Program Design
The Engineering Science program prepares students for transfer to baccalaureate
college and university programs in mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering
and engineering physics, as well as for immediate employment in engineering
sciences and high technology fields. The program also offers students currently
employed in technical positions in high technology industries the opportunity
to retrain and upgrade their technical skills.
College of Technology - Engineering Pathway Program
The Engineering Science Program, through the Connecticut College of
Technology Pathways Program, provides for direct entry into baccalaureate
engineering programs at the University of Connecticut. Students may enter
UConn engineering programs through the Engineering Science A.S. Degree
program at MCC and, upon successful completion of the program, continue
on to UConn as third-year engineering students with a full two years of credit
towards a baccalaureate degree in engineering. For more information, call
Robert Fortier at 512-2623.
Curriculum
Students may enroll in this program full- or part-time. Courses are offered during
daytime or evening hours. Preparation for the Engineering Science Program
includes a high school diploma or equivalent with one year of physics and three
years of mathematics including Algebra I and Algebra II followed by advanced
algebra or precalculus mathematics. For students not prepared for the required
mathematics and English courses, MCC offers a wide range of developmental
and preparatory courses. (See Pre-Technical Education, page 27.)

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of all Engineering Science degree program
requirements, graduates will
1. Transfer into a Bachelor of Science Degree Program as a continuing
student in the Engineering Pathway program. Provided the transferring
schools’ credit requirements are met, MCC students will transfer as
juniors.
2. Demonstrate the ability to assist in research, development, design,
production, testing and various other functions associated with
engineering.
3. Demonstrate a good understanding of engineering principles/
concepts.
4. Demonstrate a good understanding of mathematical concepts.
5. Demonstrate good working knowledge of state-of-the-art hardware
and software in support of Engineering design.
6. Demonstrate the ability to think through a problem in a logical manner.
7. Organize and carry through to conclusion the solution to a problem.
8. Demonstrate good communication skills.
9. Demonstrate teamwork skills.
In addition, the graduate will complete the comprehensive learning outcomes
identified with the General Education Component.
‡ These courses must be included in the 25 percent minimum course
requirements for the degree through course work at the College. (See
page 16.)
