Recommended Pathway
Semester 1:
| Course Number | Course Title | Units | Advising/Action Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Math 5A | Math Analysis I | 5 | Major Core - Check with counselor for math placement/eligibility CCC General Education – Area DII & Competence Requirement |
| English 1A/1AH | Reading and Composition | 4 | CCC General Education – Area DI & Competence Requirement |
| Engineering (ENGR) 10 | Introduction to Engineering | 2 | Major Core |
| Engr 40 or Computer Science(CSCI) 40 |
Programming for Scientists and Engineers or Programming Concepts and Methodology I |
4 | Major Core Option – Digital Technology Literacy |
| Semester Units: 15-16 | |||
- Explore transfer institutions and meet with Counselor to develop Student Educational Plan (SEP)
- Discuss with a counselor utilizing the CSU GE, IGETC, or local General Education requirements to satisfy GE
- Check with counselor regarding the minimum chemistry transfer requirements for intended transfer institution.
- Review assist.org to view lower division major requirements for the CSU’s and UC’s
- Engr 40 is only offered during the Fall term
- A student ready for MATH 5A will follow this pathway. Students starting at a lower math level (MATH 4A or MATH 4B) will take longer than two years to complete this certificate. They will, however, have the opportunity to complete more of their General Education requirements.

This Associate Degree requires four course from the following: Engr 6, Engr (40 or 5) or CSCI 40, Chem 3A or Chem 1A, Physics 4C
*Student should carefully plan which of these courses to take based on their specific major and intended transfer institution(s). Some transfer institutions will have minimum requirements for transfer that will necessitate choosing more than 4 courses from this section.
*Student should complete the programming course specifically required by his or her transfer institution of choice. The choices are: ENGR 40 Programming for Scientists and Engineers (4 units), ENGR 5 Programming and Problem Solving in MATLAB (3 units), and CSCI 40 Programming Concepts and Methodology I (4 units).
*Student should check the minimum chemistry transfer requirements for his or her intended transfer institution.
If you plan to pursue the bachelor’s degree at Fresno State there are additional requirements that can be completed at CCC: Any CSU GE Area B2 Life Science any course, History 11 or 12/12H, Polisci 2/2H, Phil 1, any CSU GE Area D course. Follow up with a counselor to review this information in more detail.
Things to Think About
- Community Organizations – Internships Career Center Connection
- Transfer requirements for the CSU’s, UC’s, and Private institutions
- Recommend involvement in Engineering Club: Advisor Christopher Glaves
- Utilize the Tutorial Services
- Follow up with Instructors during office hours
- It is crucial that the student investigate the transfer requirements for each four-year institution that they plan to apply to for transfer. This plan was developed with CSU Fresno primarily in mind. Other transfer institutions may require modifying the courses in this plan.
