PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Associates in Science degree in Pre-engineering is a program at GCCC that offers students the mathematics courses needed for their first two years of an engineering degree at most four-year institutions as well as some of the science classes. The goals of all the courses are not just to prepare students for future classes, but to develop an understanding and appreciation of how mathematics is used and applied in real-world situations. With small class sizes our professors can help each student achieve their goals. This degree fulfills the College’s mission of developing skills in written communication, oral communication, and critical thinking while advancing knowledge in diversity and social responsibility. The semester-by-semester plans described below are general guidelines. Students should work closely with their academic advisors to develop a plan that best meets their own individual needs and goals.
