Total Semester Hours: 65


ΔClasses chosen in major must be different from courses used for Core requirements.

*Recommended Core Curriculum course. Other Core Curriculum courses may satisfy this requirement.

**PHIL 2306  Introduction to Ethics recommended.

To receive the degree, the student must make a minimum grade of “C” in all required math and science courses.

While this plan identifies courses that will apply toward most undergraduate engineering programs, it is important that students work with a TJC Academic Advisor each semester as well as with the transfer university early to make sure they are on track and taking courses toward their specific engineering discipline.

The selection of Engineering Electives depends on the student’s engineering discipline and requirements of the transfer institution. Additional courses beyond the minimum of 12 hours may be required to fulfill prerequisites for the transfer institution. It is imperative that students consult engineering advisors at the transfer institution as soon as possible. The guidelines shown below satisfy TJC’s engineering degree requirements; however, the guidelines may be adjusted on a case-by-case basis by the Engineering/Physical Sciences Department Chair depending on the requirements of the transfer institution. Guidelines for engineering electives:

  1. Mechanical Engineering: ENGR 1201 , ENGR 1304 , ENGR 2301 , ENGR 2302 , and choose between CHEM 1412  (required at Texas A&M), ENGR 2304  and ENGR 2305 /ENGR 2105 .
  2. Civil Engineering: ENGR 1201 , ENGR 1304 , ENGR 2301 , ENGR 2302 , and choose between CHEM 1412  (required at Texas A&M), ENGR 2304, and GEOL 1403.
  3. Electrical Engineering: ENGR 1201 , ENGR 2304 , ENGR 2305 /ENGR 2105 , and COSC 1436 .
  4. Chemical Engineering: ENGR 1201 , ENGR 1304 , CHEM 1412 , CHEM 2423 , and CHEM 2425 .

Students interested in engineering disciplines not listed above should consult with the Department Chair of Engineering and Physical Sciences.
