Jack Bailey

Today's professional engineer requires a minimum of four years of highly theoretical and specialized training. Very often this training requires more than four regular college years; that is, either attendance for several summer terms or an additional fifth year, before you may qualify for the bachelor’s degree.  Since program requirements differ between universities, the official transfer guide of the school which you plan to attend upon leaving EAC should be consulted in order to adjust this program to your personal needs.

EAC offers you two years of training in the required background mathematics and sciences. In addition, EAC offers many of the General Education courses which are required as part of the overall education of an engineer.
