60 credit hours
The Engineering Field of Study is preparation for a Bachelor of Science in several disciplines within the school of engineering at a college or university. The completed Field of Study is designed to transfer to any Texas public college or university. Upon completion of the Field of Study Curriculum, a certificate will be awarded to acknowledge completion and recognize preparedness to transition from an associate level to a baccalaureate (BA/BS) level, at any Texas public institution.
In addition to the Engineering Field of Study, a specific set of four University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) Electrical Engineering courses are offered in support of our Collin-UTD Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) Articulation Agreement.
Career Options
Engineers presently occupy more than two-thirds of all technical positions and a large percentage of managerial positions in industry. The Engineering Program prepares students for transfer to a college or university where they can specialize in such disciplines as:
Aerospace Engineering
Agriculture Engineering
Biochemical and Food Engineering
