Program Description
This curriculum is designed to provide the first two years
of a four-year program leading to the award of a BS in
engineering. A student planning to transfer to any
baccalaureate degree granting institution should follow
the appropriate track listed below in consultation with an
engineering advisor. The student should also visit the
Montgomery College Engineering Advising website
www.montgomerycollege.edu/engineeringadvising for
up-to-date comprehensive information on transfer
requirements for all universities and colleges with which
we have an articulated transfer program.
Completion of all requirements for any track in
engineering science will lead to the award of the AS in
engineering science.
This track will prepare students to transfer to a four-year
university with a major in fire protection engineering.
Specific requirements in colleges vary, and the student
preparing for a particular institution may, with approval,
change the sequence listed below; this sequence of
courses is articulated with the fire protection engineering
program at the University of Maryland, College Park. A
suggested course sequence for full-time students follows;
all students should consult an engineering adviser. The
student should also visit the Montgomery College
Engineering Advising website at
www.montgomerycollege.edu/engineeringadvising for
up-to-date comprehensive information.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:
Identify, formulate, and solve basic physics and
engineering problems in mechanics and
thermodynamics.
Design simple structures and strategies using analytic
and numerical methods in the area of fire protection
engineering.
Use appropriate computer application software in fire
protection engineering.

Advising Notes
Most engineering students will start at MC missing one or more pre-requisites for CHEM 131, CHEM 132,
CHEM 135, ENGL 102, ENES 100, and MATH 181.
The appropriate initial chemistry courses will be determined by the student’s score on the Chemistry Placement
Exam, mathematics level, AP/IB credits, or transfer credits. Possible courses include CHEM 099, CHEM 131,
CHEM 132, or CHEM 135. Either CHEM 132 or CHEM 135 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMCP.
CHEM 131-CHEM 132 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMBC, but CHEM 135 does not.
The pre-requisite for ENGL 102 is ENGL 101 or ENGL 101A. English course placement is determined by the
Accuplacer English/Reading Test.
The co-requisite for ENES 100 is MATH 165 or higher.
The pre-requisite for MATH 181 is MATH 165 (Precalculus). Mathematics initial course placement will be
determined by the Accuplacer Math Test, AP/IB credit, or transfer credits.
UMCP’s ENFP 250(3) and 255(3), for which MC has no equivalents, remain to be taken at UMCP after transfer.
ENES 232 (thermodynamics) IS NOT required for transfer, but is transferable as equivalent to other technical
elective courses in the junior year.
