Engineering
Engineering is a dynamic and growing field that applies advanced mathematics and science to design and develop real-world products and services. At Skagit Valley College, students can explore four distinct university transfer pathways based on current industry demand: Bioengineering/Chemical Engineering, Computer/Electrical Engineering, Aerospace/Mechanical/Civil/Environmental/Industrial Engineering, and Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering. Specialized coursework prepares students for success, with classes such as Engineering Graphics/CAD, Dynamics, Materials Science, Electrical Circuits, and Engineering Computation.
The Associate of Science Transfer (AS-T) degree fulfills key math, science, and engineering prerequisites while meeting general education requirements, positioning students for junior standing at many public and private colleges in Washington. While the degree strengthens transfer opportunities, admission to specific engineering programs is competitive and may require additional steps. Early advising is strongly recommended to ensure students meet institution-specific requirements, including calculus-based physics, full science sequences, and potential additional general education coursework.
