Electrical Engineering Concentration
Program Description
The Electrical Engineering Concentration within the Associate in Science in Mathematics and Pre-Engineering is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
This concentration provides a strong foundation in calculus, physics, and engineering principles related to electricity, electronics, and electromagnetic systems. Students develop analytical and problem-solving skills while exploring how electrical engineers design and maintain systems used in communications, power generation, computing, and electronic devices. Coursework emphasizes quantitative reasoning, scientific analysis, and the application of mathematics and physics to engineering challenges.
The program prepares students for upper-level coursework in electrical engineering and related technology-driven fields.
Transfer Information
The Electrical Engineering concentration is structured to align with bachelor’s degree programs in electrical engineering and related disciplines such as electronics engineering, computer engineering, and communications engineering.
Students are encouraged to work closely with faculty and Advising & Transfer Services to ensure coursework aligns with the requirements of their intended transfer institution. Because engineering programs require carefully sequenced coursework in calculus, physics, and technical subjects, students should follow the recommended course sequence to remain on track for transfer.
Students planning to transfer within New Jersey should explore the “Transfer Programs” feature on NJ Transfer (www.njtransfer.org) to review articulation agreements and institutional requirements.
Career Information
The A.S. in Mathematics and Pre-Engineering – Electrical Engineering Concentration is designed primarily for transfer. A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering is typically required for professional roles in the field.
With further education, graduates may pursue careers such as:
- Electrical Engineer
- Electronics Engineer
- Power Systems Engineer
- Communications Engineer
- Embedded Systems Engineer
Students are encouraged to consult with faculty and Career Services early in their academic journey to explore transfer pathways, internships, and career opportunities in electrical engineering and related technology fields.
