Engineering Scholars Program

The West Hills College Lemoore Engineering Scholars Program is a two year program designed to prepare engineering students for transfer to a four year university as a junior.

The program is broad so as to prepare for all engineering disciplines. Upon transfer, students will have met all of the lower division science and math prerequisites and a minimum of 16 units of lower division engineering credits, allowing a transferring student to jump right into the upper-division engineering coursework at the university.

While expansive to accommodate any engineering discipline, special focus is placed upon mechanical and civil coursework. By simply following the sequenced courses, students will be eligible to petition for an associate’s of science degree in engineering upon completion of their second year.
