Engineering involves the application of science, mathematics, and technology to solve and analyze a wide range of problems. In today’s society, engineering specialties include civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, materials, industrial, aeronautical, environmental, and computer engineering, among others. In general, engineers participate in the activities which make the resources of nature available in a form beneficial to society and provide systems that will perform optimally and economically.
The Engineering transfer program at Santa Barbara City College provides lower-division engineering coursework equivalent to the first two years of education at a 4-year university leading to a Bachelor of Science Degree. At Santa Barbara City College, all Engineering transfer students major in Engineering and do not declare a specific branch of engineering study until after they have transferred to a 4-year university. An Associate in Science and an Associate in Arts may also be obtained.
