Engineers apply mathematics and scientific laws to invent and design products and services that are used in everyday life. This Engineering Associate of Science degree is meant to provide students with a strong foundation of engineering and design skills. Theoretical concepts are combined with practical experiences to expose students to real-world engineering problems.

While the core courses are necessary to develop and strengthen the necessary mathematics and physics knowledge an engineer must possess, the elective courses allow for different routes, ranging from additional transferable courses in several engineering majors, to hands-on courses that confer readily employable skills as engineering technicians.

Program Outcomes

1. An ability to apply engineering, science, and mathematics knowledge utilizing critical thinking and problem-solving skills to find solutions to problems of engineering nature and design.
2. Skills to use the state of the art laboratory equipment and simulation tools for engineering and engineering related practices and research.
3. An understanding of the ethical and professional role and responsibility as a member of the society in finding the ways for the betterment of the environment and all humanity and life.
