Within the Associates in Science program, the first two years of engineering and information technology majors are offered. Students may choose from seven disciplines: Electrical, Computer, Civil and Environmental, Chemical, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science or Computer Information Systems. The two-year sequence of courses provides courses that are nearly equivalent to the first two years of Engineering or Information Technology 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 and Information Technology, 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 program 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 transfer course sequence or the Associate in Science degree.
