Goal of the Engineering Program
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 Engineering Program at TCC 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
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.
