Program Overview


Engineering is a diverse, fast-growing, high-demand discipline which leverages the skills acquired in foundational mathematics (i.e., calculus; linear algebra; differential equations) and science-based (i.e., physics, chemistry, biology) courses to design and develop products and services. As such, engineers bridge the gap between high-level theory curated by scientists and industry’s practical application.

To support students interested in engineering, Skagit Valley College (SVC) offers four (4) distinct university transfer pathways (or engineering “subdisciplines”) based on current industry demand: 

  • Bioengineering/Chemical Engineering
  • Computer/Electrical Engineering
  • Aerospace/Mechanical/Civil/Environmental/Industrial Engineering
  • Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

Each subdiscipline requires “specialization courses” which should be selected based on the target transfer institution. Currently, there are nine (9) unique specialization courses, including Engineering Graphics/Computer-Aided Design (ENGR& 114 ; CAD); Dynamics (ENGR& 215 ); Introduction to Materials Science (ENGR 170 ); Electrical Circuits (ENGR& 204 ); and Engineering Computation (ENGR& 240 ).
