Associate of Science -Specialization in Computer Engineering 

About

The Associate of Science in Computer Engineering is designed for students who plan to transfer to a Bachelor of Science degree program at a four-year college or university. Entry into many engineering programs is competitive, and students are urged to work closely with TCC advisors and university advisors to ensure all entry requirements are met.

The first two years of a bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering can be completed at TCC. Students can earn an associate degree to transfer to a Washington state public university. Here is important information about the Computer Engineering program’s specific requirements:

Program Learning Outcomes – what we promise our students will learn in our program:

  • Apply knowledge of mathematics and science to engineering-related programs
  • Design a system, component, program or process to meet desired needs
  • Conduct scientific experiments, analyze and interpret the resulting data
  • Communicate design ideas and solutions to engineering-related problems or results of scientific experiments effectively
  • Use both English and mathematical languages to communicate ideas and solutions
  • Function effectively on a team to produce a cohesive and professional work product
