Engineering Certificate of Achievement

Effective Fall 2020

The Certificate of Achievement in Engineering is offered to prepare students to transfer to a four-year institution as an engineering major. The core courses required for this certificate will fulfill many of the lower division requirements for most campuses in the UC and CSU systems. 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 Engineering certificate is intended for transfer, but some students may be able to obtain employment as an engineering technician or engineering technologist. 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.

Career Opportunities

Preparation for entry level jobs in Engineering generally requires a bachelor’s degree in a specific engineering discipline. Engineering disciplines, or branches, include Aeronautical, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Manufacturing, and Mechanical Engineering. Engineering is an exciting, challenging and dynamic industry. Engineers use both scientific and mathematical principles to solve real world problems and to improve the lives of people around the globe. They can design everything from satellites that are used for global positioning systems (GPS) to biomedical devices such as stents and prosthetics, to more efficient processes to manufacture all-purpose household cleaner, and so much more.
