Students who are planning to major in mechanical, electrical or other engineering fields at a 4-year institution, North will provide them with excellent preparation for transfer, including many of their math and science prerequisites, as well as engineering transfer courses. Students can earn an associate degree in engineering or choose from individual courses if they are already in a 4-year school.

The Engineering Transfer program requires that students complete one year of calculus and one year of calculus-based physics. After that preparation, they can enter a sequence of 3 mechanical engineering courses or 1 electrical engineering course. To round out their transfer preparation, they will also complete some science, advanced math and computer science coursework.

The Engineering program accommodates a wide range of preparation among students. Students will have one-to-one contact with faculty members who engage directly with them and support their learning, have master’s degrees and experience in the job world, and see teaching as their first objective. Small classes within a traditional classroom format give students great faculty access and the opportunity to get their questions answered.
