Electrical and Computer Engineering (AST2/ MRP)(Plan Code: EECCEAS)
Academic Plans, known as programs, include an overview description and a summary of program requirements. You can search the online catalog via the Academic Plan links on the right for a desired program or a specific course information.
Students must earn a 2.0 cumulative GPA in order to qualify for graduation from Clark College and are encouraged to connect with their potential transfer institution to confirm GPA and course requirements for acceptance. It is recommended that students complete the sequenced science courses before transferring.
Electrical Engineering Transfer Degree AST2 requires students to complete minimum of 95 quarter hours of transferable credit with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00. In order for a student to be junior ready in Electrical Engineering at specific transfer institutions, there are additional credits/units beyond the AST2 credit/unit requirements for this degree that a student need to consider. Please consult your faculty adviser to learn more and to develop your education plan (www.engrcs.com/schedule). The minimum required credits/units are distributed as follows:
| Code | Title | Credits/Units |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Requirements | ||
| Communication Skills (minimum 5 credits/units) | ||

Program Outcomes
Program outcomes are overarching skills that are emphasized and reinforced throughout several courses in a specific program; they are measurable statements that define what students should know or be able to do by the end of a certificate or degree at Clark College. After successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Articulate well-considered ideas and written claims to an academic audience, using effective rhetorical techniques, properly credited evidence, and a command of Standard English. (GE)
- Obtain, evaluate, and ethically use information. (GE)
- Evaluate, analyze, and explain events, behaviors, and institutions using perspectives and methods in the Social Sciences. (GE)
- Interpret the human experience, within appropriate global and historical contexts, through evaluation, analysis, creation, or performance. (GE)
- Analyze patterns of power, privilege, and inequity in the United States. (GE)
- Demonstrate progress toward healthier behaviors. (GE)
- Apply communication theory to demonstrate effective oral communication skills. (GE)
- Analyze and interpret quantitative information presented verbally, graphically, numerically, and/or symbolically. (GE)
- Apply a method of scientific inquiry, valid to the natural sciences, to evaluate claims about the natural world. (GE)
- Demonstrate and clearly explain an effective strategy to solve a quantitative problem. (GE)
- Analyze and solve multi-step problems using techniques through single-variable calculus.
- Demonstrate understanding of the derivative as an instantaneous rate of change and the definite integral as a limit of a sum.
- Acquire scientific and technological information from appropriate sources to examine issues, claims or situations.
- Apply fundamental principles and relationships from the Natural Sciences to analyze technological or scientific problems.
- Apply scientific and technological knowledge and methodologies to creatively solve technological or scientific problems.
