Half Block Engineering Class

The Physics Department offers a course in half-block every year that provides an introduction to the field of engineering. The course is taught by an engineer working in that field.  By taking this course multiple times, students acquire familiarity with a variety of engineering fields.  Many students also use the connections they make in the course to find internships and jobs.

Career in Engineering 

There are multiple paths from CC to an engineering career, including:

• Our 3-2 Program
• Our 4-2 Program
• Graduate school in engineering (usually you will major in the affiliated science)
• Employment in engineering directly from CC (usually you will major in the affiliated science)

CC graduates have followed all of these paths into successful careers. Please visit our CANVAS site and talk to Phillip Cervantes at pcervantes@mapporium.com.
