Associate in Civil and Mechanical Engineering AS-T Track 2/ MRP

The Associate in Civil and Mechanical Engineering is a state-recognized Associate of Science – Track 2, Major Related Program (AS-T2 MRP). It is designed to provide a clear transfer pathway for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Students interested in related fields such as Environmental, Aeronautical, or Industrial Engineering are also encouraged to follow this pathway. Upon completion, students will be eligible to transfer with junior standing to most Washington State baccalaureate institutions. However, admission to specific engineering programs is competitive and not guaranteed. Transfer institutions may require a minimum cumulative GPA, a higher GPA in a selected subset of courses, or a minimum grade in subjects like Math or English. Students are strongly encouraged to meet early with both their TCC advisor and their intended transfer institution to confirm that course selections align with both graduation requirements at TCC and admission criteria at the transfer school. Because courses in this pathway may fulfill different requirements depending on the major, students should carefully verify how each course fits into their intended program of study.

Many of the required courses for this degree have prerequisites, which may increase the total number of credits needed for completion. Students who are not yet prepared for Calculus I (course ) or English Composition I (course ), or who have not completed high school chemistry, should expect to take additional coursework.
