Engineering Science
Sample Schedule
The schedule below shows how the requirements for the A.S. Engineering Science degree may be met in four semesters. This schedule is an example of one of many possible different schedules. It is included here only as an illustration of the type of schedule that might be followed by a full-time student. Many students attending Finger Lakes Community College who have work and/or family obligations choose a different sequence of courses and take more than four semesters to fulfill the requirements for the A.S. Engineering Science degree. Similarly, students who find they need to take some additional course work to prepare them to do well in the types of courses included in the A.S. Engineering Science degree program may plan a schedule that takes more than four semesters to complete the degree. All students should consult their advisors when they plan their schedules.

The sequence above is only an example, and variations in the curriculum sequence are possible. Review the specializations described below and consult with your advisor to learn about possible variations.
Specializations
Within the A.S. Engineering Science degree the student may select courses that reflect the student’s interests and goals. The specializations listed below have been suggested by departments for students who want to transfer to a four-year program in these areas. In many cases the subject areas indicate sequences of courses that will prepare students to transfer into specific degree programs as juniors. The articulation agreements which support transfer from Finger Lakes Community College to four-year institutions are discussed in more detail in the "Transfer Opportunities" section on page 71.
