Purpose:
The demand for technically trained people is increasing rapidly in Virginia
as well as throughout the world. The engineer is a most important member
of the technical team which includes the scientist, technician, and skilled
craftsman. Opportunities are unlimited for men and women in the field of
engineering. Science is so diversified now that one may enter almost any
specialization and find employment. The preparation for the engineering
profession is based on a vigorous program especially in mathematics and
science.
The associate
of science degree major in Engineering is designed for persons who plan
to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a baccalaureate
degree program in one of the following engineering fields: aerospace, agriculture,
architecture, biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical,
environmental, industrial,
materials, mechanical, mining, nuclear, or ocean.
Admission Requirements: General
college curricular admission
Program Notes: Each applicant
shall: (a) have completed placement testing and (b) have met with his/her
advisor to establish a planned course of study prior to being allowed to
register for courses. Computer literacy is required for admission to certain
courses in the program. Each applicant’s computer literacy will be assessed
by the program head, and additional coursework, if required, will be factored
into the planned course of study.
Satisfactory completion of the
following high school units or their equivalent, at a minimum, is strongly
recommended: four units of English, one unit of laboratory science (preferably
physical science), one unit of social studies, and four units of mathematics
(two units of algebra, one unit of plane geometry, one unit of advanced
mathematics or trigonometry and solid geometry).
This program includes the courses
usually required in the first two years of a baccalaureate engineering curriculum.
The minimum number of credits required for graduation from the J. Sargeant
Reynolds Community College Engineering AS degree program is 68. Students should consult with their
engineering advisor at the earliest possible date to acquaint themselves
with the requirements of the engineering program at the college or university
to which transfer is planned.
Computer Competency Requirement:
Students in this program will meet the college’s computer competency requirement
by passing the computer competency exam, administered in the testing centers
on each campus, or by completing either
ITE 115,
Introduction to Computer Applications and Concepts, or
CSC 155,
Computer Concepts and Applications, or equivalent. Students not passing
the computer competency exam may retake the exam only once.
