Curriculum Maps
Curriculum Maps are a tool to provide students with a clear understanding of which courses to take and the order in which to complete them. Curriculum Maps help define a student’s individual path towards graduation, ensuring their time and efforts are not spent on credits that fall outside their program of study.
Each map identifies critical courses that must be completed in order to progress through the program and graduate. Curriculum Maps come complete with helpful hints for students - like recommended course electives and a reminder to apply to graduate.

Note
*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed transferable college credits from other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 - Academic Development 101 . This 1-credit course is designed to be taken in the first semester at CCBC. Students must provide an official transcript(s) from an accredited institution to document successful completion of college coursework for the ACDV 101 requirement to be waived.
Program Description
The Engineering degree program is designed for students to complete the majority of courses required by four-year institutions during the first two years of a baccalaureate engineering program. Early and direct contact with the university to which students are planning to transfer to complete their engineering degree is recommended, since there are wide variations between engineering programs in required and accepted courses. Course may be taken in any sequence if prerequisites are met.
Program Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this degree, students will be able to:
- gain admission to a four-year engineering program;
- participate as an active member of an engineering design team;
- solve problems such as determining forces acting on a body using fundamental engineering design calculations;
- conduct tests for chemical components or strength of materials; and
- write and present reports on results of tests and/or mathematical analyses.
