Engineering

Once you know what engineering area you’re interested in, it’s time to start planning how to get there!  This section provides a variety of PDF’s for you to review on your own or with your advisors from Big Bend and the university you wish to transfer to.   If there is something you need but don’t see, let us know.  We are here to help!

COURSE CALENDAR
An overview of quarterly offerings for math, science and engineering courses required to complete the AS-T and MRP degrees.  It does not include the schedule for humanities, social sciences or other basic and breadth subjects.  Courses marked with an asterisk (*) are pre-requisites to MRP degree courses.  COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
A brief overview of the course content, including prerequisite information for all engineering courses.

PREREQUISITE FLOW CHART
A snapshot of math and science courses required to take engineering (ENGR) courses.

COST COMPARISON FOR A THIRD YEAR
When money matters, it’s good to have the numbers already summarized.  Take a look at the potential savings for completing your AS-T MRP at Big Bend versus transferring to a number universities.  Compare tuition rates, basic costs including tuition/books/fees and room/board, and how living at home with your parents/guardians for another year could mean THOU$AND$ in $aving$.   ELECTRICAL EDUCATION PLAN 
This is a three-year sample course plan for students interested in electrical or computer engineering pathways. MECHANICAL EDUCATION PLAN
This is a three-year sample course plan for students interested in mechanical, civil, aeronautical and material science engineering pathways.

The links and resources below are intended to assist you with researching engineering pathways at a variety of public and private universities to develop an education plan in order to best meet the requirements of your intended bachelor’s degree. Please ensure you are regularly communicating with your Big Bend and transfer university advisors as requirements for certification (acceptance into a major) are subject to change.
