AA/AS in Computer Engineering

The engineering associate degree with a computer engineering focus is offered at the La Plata Campus. It is part of the STEM division and its matching pathway. The curriculum is meant for students hoping to move to a bachelor's-granting Maryland institution and complete a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, which is the field that combines hardware and computing. Graduates are expected to be ready for junior-level coursework in the major, although some students may need to build up their skills before taking certain required classes. Those hoping to transfer to the Maryland flagship campus should consider taking the college's Technology and Society course as a social or behavioral science elective, since that institution approved it as an equivalent to its engineering ethics course.
