Cert in Engineering, General

The engineering certificate suits students getting ready to move on to a university and complete a Bachelor of Science in engineering. It rests on the foundations of physics, chemistry and mathematics, which engineers rely on to analyze data and solve problems. The curriculum also introduces engineering principles and their practical uses, and finishing it prepares students for internships with local engineering firms. Students may be able to earn the AS in Engineering by adding the remaining district general education courses. The lower-division courses are important for a smooth start as a junior-level engineering student, so students are urged to see an engineering transfer counselor or the department to confirm requirements at their target school. Details here reflect the 2026-2027 catalog, and students should confirm current requirements with a Ventura College counselor before enrolling.
