Program Description

The associate degree in Electrical Engineering provides foundational training in circuits, electronics, and power systems. Students gain hands-on experience with electrical components, design principles, and troubleshooting techniques. 

Note: The Associate of Pre-Engineering is recommended as the best degree for transfer to a four-year program. It has an advising track for Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students completing the AS on this page will need to take additional credits at their transfer institution to be ready for junior-level engineering classwork.

Program Outcomes

Students who complete an associate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering should expect the following outcomes from the program: 

• Students can solve problems by applying principles of engineering and mathematics.
• Students can acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
• Students have a feasible plan for completing a four-year degree in engineering or computer science.
