University Graduates

Are there any successful community college graduates who transfer to a university?

How well would a 3-year Engineer Technology program from a community college prepare someone for an undergraduate Engineering program at a university? Is there anyone here who did something similar, how did you do in university?

1. Maybe have.But i have;t example.sorry
2. I did not do this myself, but typically undergrad engineering programs would be looking for courses in calculus, physics, chemistry, statistics, and programming. Generally taken in high school, so if you didn't have these in high school, it would be best to take at least first level of each during your community college years. These courses are generally included in an undergrad engineering curriculum's freshman year, though they are designed to assume you already have some background in the topics, and may move very fast for someone completely new to the subjects. If you have a specific engineering field or school you want to get into, you should research what is required to work in that field or get into that college's engineering programs. If you're looking to transfer into the college as a sophomore or junior, it is particularly important you take these courses at the community college so you can focus on engineering courses after you transfer.
3. The are hundreds of thousands of community to university transfers (16,000 in Maryland alone in one year) but the success rate would be hard to find. I could guarantee one thing-those that put their time into their studies and did the work were successful. It's like anything else in life-how serious are you about it and how bad do you want to do it?
