Preparing for Fall 2011 Engineering Transfer

As an engineering student, it is important to begin early planning and preparation for transfer to a four-year bachelor degree program. To get started, visit the new Engineering Advising web page, developed by Dr. Don Day. Dr. Day has also posted his advising hours for the first half of the spring semester.

If you plan to transfer to the University of Maryland Clark School of Engineering for this fall, the priority application deadline is March 1st! If you wait until the absolute deadline in June, course selection will be limited and some courses will be full.

For information on Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Internships, contact Michael Mehalick at Michael.Mehalick@montgomerycollege.edu or 240-567-4083

Transfer Advising for Engineering Majors

Montgomery College’s Engineering Advising website is designed to provide academic program planning assistance for students enrolled in the transfer engineering programs at any of the three campuses of Montgomery College.

A.S. Degree Engineering Programs at MC describes the various engineering specialties as well as up-to-date information to help you to determine Montgomery College’s catalog requirements for graduation with an A.S. degree in any of the current engineering transfer programs.

MC's engineering curricula are designed to transfer efficiently to many highly ranked four-year schools where you can complete your B.S. degree in engineering. To maximize the efficiency of your transfer process we have agreements with many colleges and universities where significant numbers of students have transferred.

MC Curricula for Engineering Transfer shows optimized programs for the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP), George Washington University (GWU), Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), and University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).

Click on the link for Engineering Transfer to find advice on all aspects of transfer (where, when, how). We will also provide useful information on finding a transfer institution that best fits each student’s needs. It is our goal to provide accurate and accessible advising to all students to help them plan for their future.

UMCP's Engineering Programs Now Accepts More Arts Distribution Courses!

The University of Maryland's Clark School of Engineering now accepts all Arts courses on the MC General Education list, not just those which are theory-based.

Previously, transfer students were restricted to taking theory-based (lecture) rather than studio arts courses (example: AR 101 Drawing I) to fulfill UMCP's HA - Arts requirement.

The one EXCEPTION within MC's Gen Ed Arts for ALL UMCP-bound students is MC's CG 120, Computer Arts and Illustration. CG 120 is not accepted as an Arts (HA) course at UM for any major; instead, it is accepted as an HO course, Humanities Other.

New Degree Allowed By State Will Help Engineering Students Transfer

Existing engineering transfer programs in Maryland are guided by course-by-course evaluation and transfer of credit. The ASE--by providing a clear transfer pathway to multiple schools--will help offer students more choice in transfer.

The first two fields for which ASE outcomes have been developed are electrical engineering and computer engineering, which are both areas of high workforce demand. ASE students must meet all admission requirements of engineering programs to which they apply to be eligible for admission and the block transfer.

More information on the ASE can be found at http://www.mhec.state.md.us/ASE/index.asp.
