The Associate of Science in Electrical Engineering is a two-year program for students planning to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. An electrical engineer designs, tests, installs, and maintains large-scale electronic equipment, machinery for use in manufacturing, power generation or transmission. Use of computer-assisted engineering and design software are commonplace in the industry.

Transfer Options
The Tennessee Transfer Pathway (TTP) degree is designed to create a smooth transition to all public universities offering a Baccalaureate degree in this major by guaranteeing the transferability of all courses. For transfer to other four-year institutions, contact an advisor at the senior institution.  Note:  There are to be no course substitutions in this program. 

All students graduating with a degree from VSCC are required to take the Educational Testing Service Proficiency Profile (ETSP) to meet graduation requirements. More information can be found at https://www.volstate.edu/testing.
