Associate in Science in Mechanical Engineering

Diablo Valley College

The associate in science degree in mechanical engineering (ASME) is designed to prepare mechanical engineering students for transfer to a four-year institution. This program enables graduates to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills in support of engineers engaged in the design and development phases of a wide variety of projects involving mechanical systems. The DVC ASME degree is intended for transfer. Degree requirements at four-year programs differ from institution to institution, so students wishing to transfer to a particular four-year program must consult with a counselor regarding specific major requirements of a particular university program. Additionally, students are advised that other courses in math, physics and chemistry may be required and that engineering courses have science and math prerequisites. It is recommended that the students contact the counseling office for advisement regarding appropriate sequencing.
