This curriculum is designed to provide the first two years of a four-year program leading to the award of a B.S. in engineering. A student planning to transfer to the University of Maryland College Park in a particular field of engineering should follow the appropriate track listed below. A student interested in Johns Hopkins University should follow the general engineering track. A student planning to transfer to a different engineering school or interested in an unlisted engineering field should consult with an engineering adviser.

Completion of all requirements for any track in engineering science will lead to the award of the A.S. in engineering science.
