Engineering
The Associate of Science degree with a field of study in Engineering offers students the opportunity to take a core curriculum of general education with an emphasis on Engineering. At the present time, over two-thirds of all the technical and a large percentage of the managerial positions in industry are occupied by engineers.
Our engineering program prepares students for transfer to a four-year institution where they can specialize in such disciplines as:
- Aerospace Engineering
- Agriculture Engineering
- Bioengineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Computer Science Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Forest Engineering
- Industrial Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Nuclear Engineering
- Ocean Engineering
- Petroleum Engineering
- Radiological Health Engineering
This listing parallels the first two years of education that one would receive at most engineering schools. Upon completion of this sequence, many students transfer to an engineering school and obtain a degree in on of the various engineering fields. However, students intending to transfer should be aware of the transfer institution’s requirements.
It is possible to complete the engineering sequence in a number of ways and time periods. However, because of sensitive math and physics prerequisites, the suggested guideline below should be closely followed if one hopes to complete the program in a timely manner. Entering student please note that the first semester suggests Precalculus Algebra and Trigonometry (MATH 2412). Prerequisites for this course included MATH 1414 which can be completed in the summer prior to the start of the fall semester.
