Transfer Program
Interest Areas:
- Science, Tech., Engr. and Math
A full range of engineering and related courses are offered to satisfy freshman and sophomore requirements for students planning to transfer to institutions offering baccalaureate degrees in engineering or engineering technology. A solid foundation is laid for further studies in civil, mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering. This program provides the flexibility needed by students interested in emerging fields like computer science, robotics, bioengineering, geological engineering, environmental engineering, and many others. The advantages of small class size, individual attention, a knowledgeable professional staff, and state-of-the-art instructional equipment incorporating modern CAD (computer aided design) are well suited to meeting the lower division requirements for degrees in engineering. A solid math and science background is important preparation for a college engineering program. Completion of the following courses normally fulfills half of bachelor's degree requirements in Engineering. Course selections should be tailored to match requirements of the intended transfer institution.

Program Outcomes
Students completing coursework in Engineering at North Idaho College will be given the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
-
Recognize the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
-
Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve basic engineering problems.
- Function on multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively, and use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
- Develop an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities for engineers, a knowledge of contemporary issues, and a recognition of the need for, and ability to engage in life-long learning.
In addition to the program outcomes, students will meet the North Idaho College General Education (GEM) Requirements.
