Engineering
Engineering is applying scientific principles to design any number of structures and objects. Engineers have a broad knowledge of physics, mathematical concepts and properties of a variety of raw materials to create safe, functional designs. There are a several specialized fields within engineering: chemical, mechanical and electrical are only a few of them. Many engineering programs at 4-year institutions have students complete a core group of courses in calculus, physics and engineering statics. We have put together a program to cover those topics and prepare you for transfer.
In our engineering program, you may:
- Pursue an Associate in Science degree with an emphasis in Engineering or an Associate in Engineering Science degree prior to transfer
- Prepare for a 4-year degree in engineering or another science/technology-based program
