- The Class Schedule will tell you which classes each quarter meet requirements for your pre-major.
- The Annual Schedule can provide information about when classes are typically offered throughout the year.
What is an AS-T MRP?
The AS-T degree requires a minimum of 90 quarter credits in courses numbered 100 or above and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. Each individual course must have a minimum grade of 1.0. Students granted the degree are normally awarded junior status. The AS-T Major Related Program (MRP) prepares students for entrance into certain majors at those schools. The MRP requires specific courses, and will be shown on your transcript as a different type of degree than the general AS-T.
What do I need to take?
Below are the requirements for the AS-T Track 2 and the Major Related Program (MRP) in Aeronautical, Civil, Industrial, Manufacturing, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Plastics and Composites.

Aeronautical, Civil, Industrial, Manufacturing, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Plastics, and Composites-What is it?
Engineers design, test, analyze and inspect new products and systems. The types of products vary by industry and engineering specialty. For example, Aeronautical Engineers design aircraft, satellites, and spacecraft, while Civil Engineers design roads, bridges, and tunnels; Mechanical Engineers design mechanical parts and systems; Industrial Engineers oversee production to effectively manage people and equipment; and Materials Science Engineers work with metals, ceramics, plastics and semi-conductors to develop new materials.
Areas of Study in Engineering: Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Thermodynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Statics, Dynamics, Project Design, Computer Aided Design, Electronic Circuits, Manufacturing Processes, Project Management, Product Safety, Quality Control and Professional Ethics.
What can I do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering?
In addition to technical, scientific and problem solving skills, engineers rely heavily on teamwork and strong communication skills to manage projects effectively. These skills apply to a wide range of careers in areas such as research and development, project design, project management, teaching, sales and consulting.
Potential employers include: Engineering firms, aerospace and manufacturing firms, navigation firms, government agencies, colleges and universities and consulting firms. For more, please visit career information and resources at http://www.shoreline.edu/counseling-center/career-counseling.aspx.
