1 BACHELOR OF SCIENCE ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY RADIOLOGIC AND IMAGING SCIENCES Bachelor of Science The Bachelor s degree is an upper level degree that offers students an opportunity to continue their education. Valencia College offers two Bachelor of Science degrees. One in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology with concentrations in Computer Systems, Electrical/Electronic Systems, and Laser and Photonics, and the other Bachelor of Science degree in Radiologic and Imaging Sciences with concentrations in Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Quality Management. Admissions to Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology For the B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology program, students must have an A.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology, an A.A. Articulated Pre-Major in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology, an A.A. with Pre-Engineering coursework, or the articulated specialization in Audio Engineering Technology within the Sound and Music A.S. degree. Pre-Engineering coursework should include completion of mathematics through Calculus II and science through Physics with Calculus II. A minimum overall college grade point average of 2.0 is required for this program. Students with an A.S. in Electronics Engineering Technology, or an articulated specialization in Audio Engineering Technology within the Sound and Music A.S. degree must have completed a specific set of credit hours, including: 42 credit hours in discipline-specific courses 18 credit hours in general education.
