This Associate in Science-Transfer degree program is applicable to students planning to prepare for various engineering majors at universities in Washington.
Students completing the AS-T, Track 2 degrees will, if admitted to the university, be admitted as juniors with all or most prerequisites for the specific engineering major completed (depending on choices made among engineering electives) and with lower division general education courses partially completed in a manner similar to the partial completion by freshmen-entry engineering students. Note that engineering programs are competitive and may require a higher GPA overall or a higher GPA in specific courses. Baccalaureate institutions will apply up to 110 quarter credits required under this agreement to the credits required in the bachelor’s degree, subject to institutional policy on the transfer of lower division credits. AS-T Degree students should, however, maintain careful contact with an advisor at the potential transfer institution in regards to choice in engineering classes.
Completion Requirements
The Associate in Science-Transfer Track 2 Engineering degree requires at least 90 credit hours in college level courses (numbered 100 or above), a minimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average, a minimum of 25 credits in residence at Cascadia, and completion of all of the requirements for this degree. Students must meet with an advisor to complete and submit an application for graduation.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
Students in a STEM pathway who successfully complete this degree will be able to:
- Demonstrate proficiency with tools such as software or equipment appropriate to the STEM field
- Engage in the analytical process, by making observations, designing, implementing, and evaluating the approach
- Demonstrate proficiency with interpreting data and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
- Communicate complex ideas using written, verbal, and visual methods appropriate for a given audience
- Recognize the responsibility to positively impact both local and global societies through sustainable and ethical practices.
General Education Core Courses
Foundations for College Success
Must be completed within the first 30 credits.
Communication
Quantitative or Symbolic Reasoning
Equity, Diversity, and Power Requirement
Students must complete a 150-series EDP course and at least one more additional EDP-designated course-- totaling ten (10) credits-- to meet the Equity, Diversity, and Power completion requirement. EDP courses in the 150-series ground students in the needed cognitive tools and background to critically analyze their position in our increasingly interconnected, complex, and diverse world so they can pursue further study and seek out their careers more intentionally. EDP designated courses may also apply toward Humanities, Social Science, Natural Science, or General Elective distribution requirements as indicated. See the Cascadia catalog for the complete list of EDP-designated courses.
Humanities/Social Sciences Distribution Requirement
Students must complete courses from at least two different disciplines. No more than five credits may be included from those courses designated HP as performance/skills, applied theory, or lecture/studio courses. Only 5 credits of a world language or ASL at the 100 level may be included. Economics is recommended. CMST 150, GS 150, HIST 150, HUM 150, or SOC 150 may be used to fulfill 5 credits of the Humanities or Social Sciences Distribution requirement.
Pre-Major Requirements
Students must complete courses from at least two different disciplines and include at least five credits of a lab course (LAB). At least 10 credits are required in physical and earth science. Students are required to complete the sequence courses listed below at one institution.
Program Required Electives
Students should select two courses from the list below as appropriate for intended major and intended baccalaureate institution. Consult an advisor for more information.
