Math/Science Concentration

The Math/ Science Concentration is a two-year preparatory curriculum for students who plan to continue their education at a four-year institution and complete their bachelor degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology. The curriculum provides strong mathematics and science preparation, problem-solving experience and communication skills.

Graduates of the program are also prepared for career positions as engineering technicians in advanced technology areas. Graduates offer their employers an immediate contribution as team players equipped with a combination of technical knowledge, problem-solving experience and communication skills. Coursework includes a strong component of practical applications, hands-on laboratory experience and theoretical concepts.

Students achieving this degree may want to apply their work toward the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering at University of Delaware. Students must complete this program with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in order to directly transfer to the University.
