Engineering Transfer

Within the Associate in Science program, the first two years of an engineering major are offered. Students may choose from five disciplines: Electrical, Computer, Civil, Chemical or Mechanical Engineering. The two-year sequence of Engineering Transfer courses does not meet all of the requirements for the Associate in Science degree but provides courses that are nearly equivalent or equivalent to the first two years of engineering at the University of South Carolina (USC). Students may transfer after completing these courses or may take a few additional courses and receive the Associate in Science degree before transferring.

To transfer to the University of South Carolina's College of Engineering, students must complete the course work required for the selected engineering discipline with grades of "C" or better in each course and have an overall grade point average of at least 3.0. A student planning to transfer to any other four-year institution is strongly urged to discuss curriculum and transfer requirements with a representative of that institution early in his or her academic career at Midlands Technical College.

High school preparation for engineering should include a strong emphasis on mathematics, science and basic English language skills. Students not meeting the requirements for entry into Mathematics 140 and English 101 will have preparatory work to complete and may need more than four semesters to finish the engineering transfer course sequence or the Associate in Science degree.

*	These courses plus two to four humanities and social science courses are required in the first two years of engineering majors at the University of South Carolina. These requirements are subject to change as USC revises its curricula. Students should consult their advisors periodically about changes USC may have made. Courses not marked with an asterisk include the additional credits required for the Associate in Science degree at Midlands Technical College. Advisors can help students select humanities and social science courses to meet both the Associate in Science degree and the Bachelor of Science Engineering degree requirements. One or more engineering electives may be added.
