Engineering Program Description
The modified Associate of Science (A.S.) in Engineering will provides an introductory foundation for various fields of engineering. The program introduces students to approaches in problem solving within the environment of engineering systems. Students learn to identify, formulate, and solve practical problems using the principles of math, science, and engineering. Students manipulate, analyze, and interpret data from experiments, using quantitative methods as well as various types of technology, and communicate the results in adherence to professional and ethical standards. Courses in this program cover a wide array of the engineering disciplines, including computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, systems analysis and design, technical support, and applications software. This degree prepares students for transfer to four-year institutions and entry-level employment that focuses on computer, electrical, electronic circuits, or mechanical engineering.
