Associate of Science Degree
Courses for this Program
About the Program
The Associate of Science – Civil Engineering is for students interested in transferring to a bachelor’s degree program at Oregon Tech.
Program Learning Outcomes
The curriculum in RCC courses is derived from a set of identified learning outcomes that are relevant to the discipline. Overall program learning outcomes for the Civil Engineering – Transfer to Oregon Tech are:
Identify the broad context of engineering problems, including describing the problem conditions, identifying possible contributing factors, and generating alternative solution strategies.
Identify the fundamental elements of engineering design including associated safety, quality, schedule and cost considerations.
Employ mathematics, science, and computing techniques in a systematic and rigorous manner to support the study and solution of engineering problems.
Conduct and document laboratory experiments in the sciences and engineering, effectively communicating determined quantitative relationships using both graphs and equations.
Exhibit good teamwork skills and serve as effective members of laboratory and project teams.
Articulate and justify technical solutions to an audience through oral, written and graphical communication.
Communicate the importance of professional and ethical responsibilities of engineers and be aware of codes and other sources of guidance for professionally ethical decision making.
Draw a complete and correct free body diagram of an object.
Write and solve applicable equations of equilibrium for statically determinate objects.
Apply statics concepts to trusses, frames and machines, and calculation of internal forces.
Determine the centroid and moment of inertia for an arbitrary area.
Be prepared to transfer to Oregon Tech as a Civil Engineering student.
Entry Requirements
Students in engineering majors are asked to work closely with Dusty Rittenbach, Science Department Chair, jrittenbach@roguecc.edu, to ensure success in academic planning.
Students are required to complete the Placement Process to determine skill level and readiness in math, reading, and writing. As part of their training program, students must begin with the courses within their skill level as determined through the Placement Process. In addition, students may also be required to enroll in classes that would increase their employability and success.
Advanced Standing
Coursework from accredited colleges and universities will be accepted in accordance with college registration policies and with a Science Department recommendation. In order to ensure that coursework is current, program courses over 10 years old must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate program coordinator before being accepted toward core requirements. Students must complete coursework in their major at a “C” or better level before proceeding to advanced coursework. Engineering requires advanced coursework, and may take additional time for an associate’s degree. The preparatory transfer course-work, which can be taken at RCC, may take up to three years.
Graduation Requirements
Students are required to complete all courses in this program with a grade of “C” or better to receive their degrees. Certain required courses are graded on a pass/no pass basis only. A grade of “P” for these courses indicates a student earned the equivalent of a “C” or better grade.
