Reasons to Start YOUR Engineering Education
at College of the Siskiyous

  •  Small Class Sizes: Would you be more likely to thrive and succeed as you make the transition to college in a small personal environment or in a large impersonal environment? The average class size for the Engineering and Physics classes is 3 to 12 students at COS. Compare this to a University where those classes hold 40 to over 100! At COS if you have a question, it will be answered. The Engineering and Physics department also sponsors student study groups. 
  • Great Education: We have just completed a remodeling of the Engineering and Physics classroom/labs with the use of state-of-the-art technology including: student computer stations, instructor multimedia instruction station (computer, VCR, videodisk, projection system), computerized data acquisition, computer simulation, computerized mathematical modeling and animation, video capture and computer analysis.

    • In our Engineering and Physics classes we strive to make learning an active and engaging process by involving the student in the learning process. On a Conceptual Physics exam given to physics students around the US, the COS Physics 4A class average was 93% as compared to an average of 24% for physics students at a typical university! We take pride in providing our students with a high quality education and preparing them to succeed upon transfer to a four-year school.
