Transfer to Top Engineering 4-Year Universities
from GRCC
April 2008

Jeff McCauley has taught Engineering at GRCC for 16
years. |
Green
River Community College's Engineering Program provides students with
a strong foundation in engineering. Green River has a
very good reputation for preparing students for transfer
into top 4-year universities and schools.
Jeff McCauley, who has taught
at the college for 16 years said, "Our goal is get our
students into the university and school of their choice.
Students need to be certified into their major. Therefore
they need to be competitive. Engineering is very demanding
and we push our students to excel. There is no statistical
difference between the grades you get here and the extremely
demanding 4-year universities."
Green River offers 3
major-ready pathways:
-
Mechanical/Civil/Aeronautical
-
Chemical/Biological
-
Electrical/Computer
The pathways are
designed to make students transfer-ready at selected
four-year universities cutting down on the time it takes
students to earn a degree. Most of our students graduate
from 4-year universities in two years.
Some of our top students have
been accepted into Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of
Washington and
many more. We just received news that one of our
students, Gabriella Lestari who graduated from Green River
Community College in 2007 and transferred to UC Berkeley, was
a recipient of the
KAUST Discover Scholarship. Recipients of this
scholarship represent future leaders in science, engineering
and technology.
