Associate in Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering, AS-T Track 2/MRP

Program Overview

The Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) degree Track 2 prepares students for transfer to a four-year university with junior standing in bioengineering or chemical engineering. The program emphasizes analytical skills, quantitative tools, effective communication, laboratory proficiency, and scientific principles. Students develop competencies in critical thinking, cultural humility, and teamwork, meeting general education requirements in various areas.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

• Overview: The Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) degree Track 2 is intended to prepare bioengineering and chemical engineering students for transfer to a four-year university with junior standing.
• Objectives:
• Use skills and knowledge to analyze issues, solve problems, and evaluate theories related to bioengineering or chemical engineering.
• Apply quantitative tools to address scientific questions, represent data, and document findings in these fields.
• Communicate effectively using written, oral, and visual methods, sharing knowledge and collaborating with team members, the public, and fellow scientists.
• Demonstrate proficiency in utilizing standard laboratory or field equipment to make accurate measurements relevant to bioengineering or chemical engineering.
• Comprehend the principles of science, recognizing its reliance on evidence, tentative nature, and susceptibility to revision.
• Develop competencies in communication, critical thinking, cultural humility, information literacy, and teamwork.
• Program Description:
• Prepares students for advanced coursework but does not guarantee admission to a specific major.
• Students are advised to research potential transfer institutions early in their program, as engineering programs may have higher GPA requirements or specific course requirements.
• Meets Humanities, Natural Science, Quantitative Reasoning, Social Science, and Written Communication general education distribution area outcomes.
• Does not include every course each quarter; students must consult the Class Schedule and plan with an advisor.
• Developmental coursework may be required, which can extend the program length.
