Engineering
The Engineering, A.S. is focused on providing students with the first two years of a baccalaureate degree in engineering. The program is designed to educate students to meet the challenge of engineering in an ever-changing world and to foster understanding of universal topics in engineering. At the baccalaureate degree level, students can choose to specialize in one of the following engineering disciplines:
- Civil Engineering
- Industrial Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
For additional program information, please contact faculty advisor, Al Jou, or contact area coordinator, Michele Leacott.
Upon Completion of this program students will be able to:
- Define engineering and identify common engineering fields;
- Design engineering graphics;
- Identify the characteristics of forces and couples;
- Explain the concepts of stress and strain;
- Describe kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies.
