I just want to know what kind of knowledge will be built around these courses

Introduction to computer science
Program Design
Algorithms and Data Structures
Object Oriented Programming
Unix tools and scripting
Digital Systems and Design
Computing Architecture
Engineering Graphics

I just want to know if these courses are meant to give you good background in software engineering or hardware or what. I am trying to figure out if I should finish these courses first(and get the associate degree) or just finish my 1st year and transfer to uni to get electrical engineering and a computer science minor.

Each class should have a description in the course catalog. That will describe what is being taught at your particular institution.
