Degree Information
Kapi‘olani Community College offers the Associates in Science in Natural Science (ASNS) Engineering Concentration degree, which transfers directly to 4-year programs, such as the UH Manoa College of Engineering. At KCC, you can complete the first 2 full years of your Bachelor of Science degree in one of 6 engineering majors, for lower tuition and with smaller class sizes, while enjoying free peer mentoring support, and fully-funded undergraduate research opportunities. You will develop practical and marketable skills to build up your resume, which will provide you with a competitive advantage as you enter the engineering workforce.
Engineering Curriculum Flowchart
MIPI Program - Math Immersion and Physics Integration
RI - Research Intensive
SCI 295VI - Undergraduate Research that is Vertically Integrated with UH Manoa
CE 270 is the study of equilibrium of rigid bodies under the action of forces and the application of the principles of mechanics to solve static problems in engineering.
CE 271 is the study of the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies under the action of forces: the geometric description of motion and the effects of forces on the motion of bodies.
EE 160, a course for prospective engineers, is an introductory course on computer programming and modern computing environments with an emphasis on algorithm and program design, implementation, and debugging. A hands-on laboratory to develop and practice programming skills is included.
EE 211 is the study of linear circuits, time domain analysis, transient and steady state response; phasors impedance, and admittance; network of system functions, frequency responses and filtering, and resonance.
ME 213 is an introductory experience in communication, presentation, professional ethics, social responsibility, engineering economics, quality control, and computer-aided drafting. Teamwork and a project are required. The goal of the course is to learn the design process and associated skills in teamwork, communication, and computing, to recognize the role of fundamentals in design and problem solving, and to be exposed to different examples of engineering projects, disciplines, and careers.
SCI 295EN and SCI 295VI offer research experiences in science, technology, engineering and/or mathematics, emphasizing the application of the engineering design process to a specific project.
