Engineering Technology
Program Description
Engineering Technology is a non-transfer program offering one certificate. Some of the courses do transfer to four-year colleges and universities. The program will prepare students for a career in civil engineering, architecture, surveying, and mechanical engineering. Students become familiar with computer hardware and software programs which will assist in many industries including construction and fabrication.
Transfer Preparation
MSJC offers a range of course work to prepare students for the workforce or to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. All four-year institutions prescribe their own standards for course evaluation and admissions. Courses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree in this program might not be the same as those required for transfer into a similar major at a four-year university.
Transfer students are advised to do research on prospective majors and careers through the Career/Transfer Center and the MSJC catalog. Students interested in transferring to CSU’s or UC’s can access major preparation by visiting http://www.assist.org. All students are advised to meet with a counselor at least once a semester to create or update their comprehensive education plan.
