Program Summary

ENGINEERING - Associate in Science

The Associate in Science in Engineering degree closely mirrors the lower division major preparation required of 1st and 2nd year students enrolled in baccalaureate level Engineering programs.  The "Required for all Tracks" courses are standard major preparation for most engineering degrees.   Students then choose one of the four tracks to meet additional lower division preparation required for their particular area of engineering study.

Career Opportunities
Entry level positions as drafters, engineering lab technicians, quality control technicians, research technicians, and surveyors.
