Civil/Mechanical Engineering

Certificate of Achievement (CA) Engineering · Las Positas College · 2026-2027 Catalog

Overview

The Certificate of Achievement in Civil/Mechanical Engineering is offered to prepare students to transfer to a four-year institution as a Civil or Mechanical engineering major. The core courses required for this degree will fulfill many of the lower division requirements for most campuses in the UC and CSU systems. This program will enable students to develop a strong foundational understanding in engineering, physics and mathematics that will be essential as they continue on the engineering pathway. In addition, students will benefit from hands-on laboratory experiences in their engineering and science courses allowing them to learn by doing. The LPC Civil/Mechanical Engineering certificate is intended for transfer. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor early on and refer to the catalog of the prospective transfer institution to determine specific major requirements required for transfer since they can vary from university to university.
