Program Overview

The Computer Engineering Specialization of the Associate of Science Track 2 degree provides a well-rounded foundation to support students who wish to major in computer engineering. This specialization prepares students to transfer as a computer engineering major with junior standing at our primary transfer institutions within the State of Washington. Students receiving this degree will need to take additional General Education requirements at their baccalaureate institution during their junior and senior years, just like students who began their major at those institutions. This is due to the number of prerequisite math and science courses and sequences for engineering majors taken during the freshman and sophomore years. Many classes required for the Associate of Science Degree are only offered once or twice per year. Students pursuing this degree are strongly advised to work with a TCC faculty advisor to plan their program of study, including the selection of elective courses. Students pursuing this degree are strongly advised to contact their potential transfer institutions early regarding the specific course choices in each area of the degree.
