Electrical Engineering Degree

The Associate of Science in Engineering - Electrical Engineering Program prepares students to pursue a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at a fouryear university in the State of Maryland. Students in the Associate of Science in Engineering - Electrical Engineering Program will receive extensive training to build a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the fundamentals of electrical engineering. Graduates of the program will have the opportunity to seamlessly transfer to an electrical engineering program at a four-year university in the State of Maryland and graduate from that university two years after transferring.

Suggested Sequence of Courses

** All BCCC students must meet the College’s Computer Literacy requirements in order to receive a degree or a certificate. All first-time, full- and part-time degree and certificate seeking students are required to complete the PRE 100 course within the first six credits.
