Engineers solve problems. Those problems may range from designing medical technology for people who need replacement body parts to solving global warming. It’s all about helping people lead better, more efficient lives.

There are no prerequisites/requirements to sign up for Introduction to Engineering (EGN-1) or Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency (EGN-3), so you can start by enrolling in either one of these courses. Or you can come to a meeting of the Hartnell Engineering Club or V.I.C.E. Club and talk to the members.

You can find out which engineering courses are offered at Hartnell on the Hartnell Engineering website, in the course catalog, or in the schedule of classes.

Check out this neat flowchart! It started out as a drawing on the blackboard during an Intro to Engineering lecture. It helps me to visualize how to get through the engineering program. Use the flowchart to assess what classes you are eligible to take, what you need to sign up for before you graduate, and to develop a strategy to take all these classes. Notice that you are eligible to sign up for all the classes in each column simultaneously. Also, just like reading, you need to start at the left and proceed to the right.

*To begin these courses, you must take the Hartnell College placement tests and have high school pre-requisite courses completed. You may need to enroll in pre-requisite courses before enrolling math, science & engineering courses. Make an appt. w/ the Math/Science/Engineering Counselor to clarify major courses & transfer planning.
