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. 

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:

Basic Requirements
Communication Skills (minimum 5 credits/units)
ENGL& 101English Composition I5
Mathematics (minimum 25 credits/units) 1
MATH& 151Calculus I5

1

Calculus I (MATH& 151) requires the successful completion of both Trigonometry (MATH 103) and College Algebra (MATH 110/MATH 111), or recommending score on an approved placement test prior to registration. 

Two courses at or above introductory calculus level. Third-term calculus or approved statistics course: 5 term credits/units chosen with the help of an Engineering faculty advisor based on the requirements of the specific discipline at the baccalaureate institution the student plans to attend.

2

Clark requires concurrent enrollment or completion of MATH& 254 with a grade of "C" or better.

3

Calculus-based or non-calculus based sequence including laboratory. Students should be advised that some baccalaureate programs require physics with calculus.

4

Either ECON course is recommended, but not required. 

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.
