About the Program
Engineers develop and design solutions to problems through the application of mathematics and science. Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electromagnetism and electronics. It also covers power, control systems, telecommunications and signal processing.
Carroll’s A.S.E. in Electrical Engineering degree program is accredited by the Maryland Higher Education Commission. Our higher education partners include the Maryland Association of Community Colleges, Maryland Independent College and University Association, Maryland Higher Education Commission, Morgan State University and the University System of Maryland.
Why Carroll for Your A.S.E. in Electrical Engineering:
- Graduates are prepared for junior-level work at a transfer institution.
- Alternative path to a B.S. in Engineering is more accessible (cost, location, schedule).
- Small classes promote rapport and connection between students and faculty.
The A.S.E. is a Maryland statewide articulation agreement based on outcomes, not courses. Each A.S.E., including ours, was developed around a set of critical objectives that all students must meet in the first two years of an engineering program.

Transfer
Carroll’s Associate of Science in Electrical Engineering degree provides the opportunity for a seamless transfer to the following Maryland state and private colleges for an Engineering major: Capitol College, Frostburg State University, The Johns Hopkins University, Loyola University Maryland, Morgan State University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore and University of Maryland College Park.
Upon student acceptance by a partnering 4-year institution, credits earned for the A.S. in Engineering will transfer as a block in the same field (e.g., EE to EE), without review of individual courses, and the transferring student will enter the receiving institution as a junior.
The University of Maryland College Park now offers Embedded System and Internet of Things (ESIOT) program, held on the Shady Grove campus, for Electrical and Computer Engineering majors. For more information, visit shadygrove.ece.umd.edu.
