Electrical Engineering UC Pathway
Certificate of Achievement
The Certificate of Achievement in Electrical Engineering is offered to prepare students to transfer a school in the University of California system as an Electrical Engineering major. This program will enable students to develop a strong foundational understanding in engineering, physics and mathematics that will be essential as they continue on the engineering pathway. In addition, students will benefit from hands-on laboratory experiences in their engineering and science courses allowing them to learn by doing. The LPC Electrical Engineering degree is intended for transfer to the University of California system. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor early on and refer to the catalog of the prospective transfer institution to determine specific major requirements required for transfer since they can vary from university to university. If interested in transferring to a CSU or other university not in the UC system as an Electrical Engineering major, please see the Associates of Science or Certificate of Achievement in Electrical Engineering.
Career Opportunities
This program provides a solid foundation for those who want to continue their education and earn a bachelors degree in electrical or electronic engineering which is generally required for entry level electrical/electronic engineering jobs. This program also prepares students for entry level jobs installing, repairing and maintaining electrical and electronic equipment in numerous different industry sectors. These industry sectors may include the auto industry, aerospace industry, airline industry, commercial contracting, construction and others.
