  • Calculus I, II and III
  • Linear algebra
  • Differential equations
  • Engineering Physics I and II
  • Engineering graphics, statics and dynamics
  • Computer science
  • Chemistry
  • Communications, humanities and social science requirements

In JCCC’s Engineering courses, you’ll learn about:

  • Engineering disciplines and academic requirements
  • Fundamental engineering concepts
  • The engineering design process
  • CAD commands for using computer-aided drafting (CAD) software
