Engineered Program
General Information
Engineers develop the skill to design functional products and systems based upon a foundation formed from engineering, physical science, and mathematics course work. They pursue rewarding careers in a professional environment with good employment and advancement opportunities.
City College of San Francisco offers courses leading to the Associate of Science Degree and Major in Engineering. Graduates generally transfer to four-year institutions as juniors where they can major in computer, electrical, electronics, mechanical, civil, industrial, chemical, manufacturing or other engineering. Others seek employment as an engineering assistant.
The degree program is based upon the recommendation of the Engineering Liaison Committee which represents the University of California, California State Universities, private universities, and community college engineering schools and departments.
Learning Outcomes
Students will develop an understanding of the fundamental principles of the major fields of engineering. The students will develop a set of problem solving skills that will enable them to solve variety of practical engineering problems using the latest software products such as word processing, spreadsheets, MATLAB, CAD, and the latest computer programming languages.
At the completion of the lower division requirements in engineering, the student:
- will have a sound understanding in basic engineering, physics and chemistry topics.
- will have demonstrated math skills through differential equations.
- will have extensive skill and experience in problem solving.
- will be eligible to transfer for a 4-year degree in engineering
- will have the skills to work as an engineering assistant for an engineering company.
Prerequisites. Beginning courses in engineering require one-year high school courses in algebra, geometry, advanced algebra, chemistry, physics, and mechanical drawing and a half-year course in trigonometry. The equivalents to these courses may be taken at City College.

+ Consult the catalog for specific requirements and courses available to satisfy the graduation requirements for the Associate of Science Degree. So as to not duplicate course work, it is recommended that you try to satisfy the requirements of the transfer institution as well as those of City College.
# If you wish to substitute another class because of specific requirements of the transfer institution you will attend, consult with the Engineering Department Advisor.
NOTE: Four-year universities may have additional course requirements for completion of lower division. Consult the Transfer Center and the Engineering Advisor for additional information. Other technical courses that transfer in engineering include CHEM 101B; ENGN 1A, 24, 36, 37, 45; MATH 115, 120, 130; PHYC 4D and 4DL.
