Engineering

Most of the positions in engineering today require at least a Bachelor of Science. The Engineering Program is designed to allow students to complete the first two years of their engineering education at Galveston College and then continue their education at a four year institution of their choice.

Since Engineering requires students to have strong math skills, the following Math Courses are part of the Mechanical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering Degree Plans:

• Calculus I

• Calculus II

• Calculus III

• Differential Equations

For those students that might need to improve or practice their math skills, Galveston College is able to provide you with the courses necessary to prepare you for an engineering curriculum. Your math skills will be invaluable to you as you undertake this engineering program and as you continue on at a four year institution.

The curriculum is designed to meet state requirements and to be easily transferable to most Texas universities. We encourage students to consider their options when selecting a four year institution and to make a timely decision for transferring their credits. Please keep in mind, each university sets its own standards for admissions with regards to GPA requirements, GPA calculation, grade requirements, number of credits accepted for transfer, documentation, and deadlines.
