This track will prepare students to transfer to other fire protection engineering programs. Specific requirements in colleges vary, and the student preparing for a particular institution may, with approval, change the sequence listed below; this sequence of courses is articulated with the fire protection engineering program at University of Maryland College Park.
A suggested course sequence for full-time students follows; all students should consult an engineering adviser.
The student should also visit the Montgomery College Engineering Advising website at www.montgomerycollege.edu/engineeringadvising for up-to-date comprehensive information.

Program Outcomes for the Engineering A.S. Degree - Fire Protection
Upon completion of this program a student will be able to:
- Have adequate engineering background and be able to transfer to a four-year university with a major in Fire Protection Engineering at or close to the junior-year level.
- Identify, formulate, and solve basic physics and engineering problems in mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Design simple structures and strategies using analytic and numerical methods in the area of Fire Protection Engineering.
- Use computer application software in computer engineering such as Pro/Engineer and Matlab
