Classes to Consider Next Term

EGR 10 • Introduction to Engineering

Think you might be interested in Engineering?  Take EGR10 to learn more.  Learn how to solve problems using the Engineering Design Process (a skill that is useful non-Engineering applications too). 

Learn about engineering disciplines: which Engineering is the best fit for you?

Finally, the engineering curriculum can be challenging - in this class, we strive to improve academic and life skills such as time management, team-work, study habits, and more.

EGR 30 • Introduction to Computing for Engineers

In this class, students will learn how to solve problems through computer programming. Using the programming language C++ as the foundation, students will also learn how to drive circuits and hardware using an Arduino microcontroller.  Skills are showcased at the end of the semester through a final project where students design and build their own "robots."

What Do Engineers Do?

The "Helping Profession"

• Engineers are problem solvers. 
• Engineers use their background in math, science, and engineering to solve technical problems that satisfy human needs or wants. 
• Engineers figure out how to design and make new products or develop large-scale systems (such as a transportation system or a water treatment plant).

Engineering problems usually involve teams of people, so engineers must work well with others and communicate.

Engineers create the future technology that all of us will live with. If you want to shape your world and you like making a difference in peoples’ lives – an engineering major could be the perfect academic program for you!

Why Study Engineering at Mission?

There are over 25 engineering specialties, with more added each year. 

For example, Mechatronics combines electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. 

Mission College is an accredited two-year California Community College.  We offer students the lower division coursework they will need for the majority of engineering majors.

Students from Mission College transfer to four-year schools after completing their lower division coursework.  This process takes most students two to three years.

Our Engineering students have transferred to:

• UC Santa Cruz
• UC Davis
• Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo
• San Jose State
• Santa Clara University
