Engineering at TCC

The Engineering Program at Tidewater Community College is designed for persons who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor's degree in one of several engineering fields such as:

Aerospace Engineering
Civil Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Mechanical Engineering

Goal
The goal of the Engineering Program is to provide students with the necessary courses and skills to meet all requirements of the first two years of a four-year Engineering Program at a college or university
The Associate's in Science degree in Engineering from TCC provides the student with a solid foundation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Significant computer usage is included in all engineering courses, using programs such as AutoCAD, MathCAD, Excel, and ORCAD, as well as programming languages such as C++. No prior computer experience is required to enter the program.
The majority of TCC Engineering students transfer to nearby Old Dominion University (ODU). Others transfer to Virginia Tech and to various colleges nationwide. Articulation agreements guarantee acceptance of TCC Engineering graduates into ODU's College of Engineering with a 2.0 GPA and into Virginia Tech's College of Engineering with a 3.0 GPA. For detailed transfer information, see the TCC Student Handbook for Engineers.
