Engineering Science
Why major in Engineering Science?
Engineers are professionals with competency in mathematics and the physical and technical sciences. Students who enjoy solving problems and working with technical or scientific equipment, and do well in mathematics and science, Engineering Science is a good choice of major. The College has a transfer agreement with Rutgers College of Engineering and New Jersey Institute of Technology. Articulation agreements with many other engineering colleges facilitate transfer with full credit.
What will students learn by studying Engineering Science? They study theoretical and applied science, mathematics, and engineering subjects. They learn to apply mathematics and science to technical operations. Students have the opportunity to study in small groups in an environment with close faculty contact.
Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major? Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra I competency must be verified with a passing score on the College's placement test. Students also need a grade of "C" or better in high school algebra II, geometry, advanced algebra,
trigonometry, laboratory chemistry and laboratory physics.
How long will it take to complete this degree? Students who do not need developmental coursework can complete the degree in two years. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
