Engineering - General Engineering AS-T

Overview

Engineering AS-T, General (PHST2AS AST2-OTRE) Active: W 2023

The Associate in Science - Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed for students majoring in sciences, computer science and engineering who wish to transfer to a Washington college or university. Students preparing to transfer to a university for a bachelor’s degree in engineering may follow one of three major-ready programs or this, the AS-T in Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics Track 2, General Engineering Concentration.

  • AS-T in Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering Track 2, (MRP)
  • AS-T in Civil and Mechanical Engineering Track 2, (MRP)
  • AS-T in Computer and Electrical Engineering Track 2, (MRP)
  • AS-T in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences Track 2, General Engineering Concentration

Students earning this degree will normally transfer with junior standing and about half of the lower division general education requirements of the baccalaureate colleges and universities. Remaining general education courses may be taken after transfer and prior to completion of a baccalaureate degree. This degree enables students to concentrate on fulfilling pre-major coursework in their intended field of study.

  • This degree plan is targeted at transfer students with an interest in an engineering or engineering technology major at a university other than University of Washington or Washington State University or in majors not included in the Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering, Computer and Electrical Engineering, or the Civil and Mechanical Engineering plans.
  • Students should work with an advisor to develop a customized plan specific to their intended major and transfer destination and should maintain this degree plan while at Everett Community College.

Requirements

This degree will require a minimum of 90 units with possible additional prerequisites; prerequisites will require additional units.

  • Though courses in a foreign language are not required in the Associate of Science degree, some universities may require two or three quarters of foreign language for admission or for graduation.
  • There may be course-level and GPA grade requirements; be sure to discuss this with your advisor.

While this plan is designed to address the transfer requirements of the intended transfer university, it is your responsibility to verify these requirements have not changed.

Potential Prerequisites

Prerequisites will require extra units, and all will require a minimum grade of 2.0 (C) or higher. Students must:

  • Complete CHEM& 140 or place into CHEM& 161
  • Complete ENGL 98 or place into ENGL& 101
  • Complete ENGR 111 or STEM 102 and MATH& 142 before ENGR 121
    • ENGR 111 or STEM 102 may be waived, at the Engineering faculty’s discretion, for students transferring to EvCC with advanced standing in engineering.
  • Complete ENGR 121 and PHYS& 241/231 before ENGR& 214
  • Complete MATH& 144 or MATH& 142 or place into MATH& 151
  • Complete PHYS& 114 or place into PHYS& 241
  • Complete MFG T 103 before PHYS& 233

College Success - 2 units

A College Success course is mandatory for all new degree-seeking students. The class may be waived due to previous college coursework or the specific course of study. Certain programs are exempt from this requirement; please see the College Success webpage for details.

Humanities and Social Sciences - 15 units total

You must take 15 units total in at least two different disciplines. One must be selected from Humanities and another from Social Sciences. The third course may be from Humanities or Social Science. No more than 5 units can be from Humanities Performance or 100-level World Languages, and a total of 2 different disciplines are required.

At least one course from the three should be a diversity course designated by the Diversity attribute (note ENGL& 101 - Diversity may also be used to fulfill the diversity requirement). Students interested in transferring to WSU should choose a diversity course that also meets WSU UCORE requirements.

Required Courses

5 units from the DTA Humanities Distribution course list

ART 110, ART 111, CMST& 210, or CMST& 220 are recommended.

Diversity Course Requirement

Diversity courses focus on perspectives related to cultural diversity in our society, which is defined as including human differences in culture, race, ethnicity, age, sex, sexuality, gender, ability, class, socioeconomic status, language, and religion. Courses are listed in the Class Schedule with a Diversity Class Attribute. They are typically found in the areas of Communications, Humanities, Social Sciences and Transfer Electives. A Diversity course may count toward one of the Distributions listed above, as well as meeting the Diversity Course requirement. Please consult with your advisor.

Completing one diversity class with a grade of D or better is an EvCC institutional requirement and must be completed to receive any degree from Everett Community College.

EvCC Residency Units Requirement

To be eligible to earn a diploma at EvCC for any certificate, at least one-third of the units must be earned at Everett Community College and apply towards the credential being earned. These units must be traditionally graded and calculated in the EvCC GPA.

Required Residency Units: 90 minimum

Additional Graduation Requirements

In addition to the applicable Diversity and Residency Units requirements, EvCC has other graduation requirements for all certificates and degrees, including which version of credential requirements should be met, a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0, fulfillment of all obligations to the college (financial or otherwise), and filing of an application for graduation. Details can be found in EvCC Graduation Requirements or in the Current Catalog on the EvCC website.
