General and Career Information:
Engineering is the application of sciences and mathematics to making things for people.
An excellent introduction to what engineering is, what engineers do, the educational requirements, career opportunities and links to sources of additional information about engineering as a choice of major are provided the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
The Bureau of Labor Statistics maintains detailed and current information on engineering careers.
Descriptions of the many engineering disciplines are also provided by the ASEE.
Many students enrolled in the Associate of Science program in Engineering at Clayton College & State University plan to transfer to other schools to obtain a bachelors or higher degree. Links to departments within the University System of Georgia that offer engineering degrees at the bachelors level or higher are provided here:
Georgia Institute of Technology - School of Engineering (B.S., M.S., Ph.D.)
University of Georgia - Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering (B.S., M.S., Ph.D)
The Georgia Institute of Technology maintains a web site that provides information for transfer students. If you are interested in Ga Tech, you should become very familar with the site. Keys items:
A listing, with links, for all U.S colleges and universities offering bachelors or higher degrees in engineering is provided by the ASEE.
U.S. News and World Report furnishes rankings of the top graduate schools in engineering disciplines.
The completion of engineering degree depends very strongly on the proper selection and sequencing of courses. While the choices provided in Areas A-E of the Core Curriculum are valid for all students, there are some special requirements for engineering students and all choices are not equal in terms of transfer requirements or optimum sequencing order.
The recommended engineering curriculum complies with the approved Areas A-E for the core. You should note that engineering students do not receive degree credit in the core for any mathematics course at a level lower than Calculus I (MATH 1501). If mathematics courses at levels lower than Calculus I are required, the A.S. degree in Engineering cannot be finished in four semesters - summer terms and/or additional semesters will be required.
To increase the probability of acceptance at transfer schools, the Principles of Chemistry sequence rather than the Principles of Biology sequence should be taken in Area D. Additionally, engineering students must take the second course in calculus (MATH 2502) in Area D, if not taken in Area A.
The recommended curriculum for the A.S. degree in Engineering is provided by the following link:
For students who took courses under the quarter system, the following link shows quarter system course equivalents for the A.S. degree in Engineering.
Because of the strong prerequisite dependencies for the required mathematics and engineering courses, it is absolutely mandatory that mathematics coursework begin in the first semester of attendance. Students who were undecided and failed to begin mathematics in their first terms cannot complete the A.S. degree in engineering in four semesters - summer terms and/or additional semesters will be required.
Use this link to obtain a recommended sequence of courses in engineering for the A.S. degree.
