Big Bend prepares future engineers with the curriculum and support services to successfully transfer to a university in the areas of mechanical/civil/aeronautical/material science engineering (OTRE) or in electrical/computer hardware engineering (CEE). Aside to the fundamentals of chemistry, calculus and physics, we also offer engineering courses in the areas of computer science programming, graphics (AutoCAD/Solidworks), a full mechanics series (statics, strength of materials, dynamics), and advanced mathematics including linear algebra and differential equations. Our students also benefit from sixty (60) hours of tutoring support in our STEM Center, smaller classes (only 24 seats in lab sciences) and faculty support outside of the classroom.

Big Bend Transfer Center

The links and resources below are intended to assist you with researching engineering pathways at a variety of public and private universities to develop an education plan in order to best meet the requirements of your intended bachelor’s degree. Please ensure you are regularly communicating with your Big Bend and transfer university advisors as requirements for certification (acceptance into a major) are subject to change.

Having trouble or want to get ahead, try the links below for math and science support. They are free!!!

The Khan Academy (math, biology, chemistry, physics, even social science content)

MIT OpenCourseWare (most everything and anything MIT, from aeronautics to women’s studies)

Draft Sight (free 2-D CAD software with activation)

SketchUp Make (free 3D software for educational purposes. Be sure to select “Make” and not “Pro” for the free version)

Students will be able to communicate clearly and effectively.
Students will be able to reason mathematically.
Students will be able to demonstrate teamwork, ethics, appropriate safety awareness and/or workplace specific skills.
Students will be able to recognize or articulate personal/interpersonal aspects of, or connections between, diverse cultural, social, or political contexts.
