Why Engineering?


The Engineering Science program equips students with a broad understanding of engineering science for transfer to a four-year institution. Students will analyze and interpret quantitative data using mathematical/scientific concepts in engineering applications and solve engineering equations through the use of content-specific tools, software and simulations. Graduates may then pursue a bachelor’s degree in any field of engineering. Graduates have the opportunity to enter careers with very strong earning potential.

 

Civil Engineering Technology, A.S. (400.3)

This program prepares students to support civil engineers, architects, consulting engineers and contractors in a variety of applications such as structural drafting and design, public works, construction, inspection, transportation, surveying and environmental engineering. Students learn sustainability technology, technical problem solving and material testing which enables them to pursue careers as civil engineering technicians, CAD drafters, construction materials testing, land surveyors and surveying technicians.

Engineering Science, A.S. (093.1)

This program prepares the student for transfer to a four-year institution by providing them with a broad college background and skill and knowledge in engineering science. Graduates may earn a Bachelor's degree in any field of engineering by transferring.

Engineering Technology, A.S. (094.2)

The Engineering technology program prepares students for transfer to four-year institutions. In this transfer program, students focus on engineering applications and implementation, utilizing algebraic and trigonometry-based mathematical concepts. Students may choose electives which will follow either civil, electrical or mechanical engineering technology subject areas. Students should seek approval of course choices from their transfer school.
