The engineering major provides a solid foundation in math, science, and engineering concepts, and prepares students looking to transfer to obtain their Bachelor’s degree or looking to enter the field as an engineering technician.  This degree is appropriate for students looking to enter most engineering disciplines, including mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and aerospace engineering.  Engineers in these disciplines work in a wide variety of industries including renewable energy, robotics, environmental management, structural design, automotive design, and transportation.  Students looking to enter computer or electrical engineering, should look at the Engineering – Computer and Electrical A.S. degree.  If planning to transfer to a 4-year university, please see a counselor for more information.\n\n**Career Opportunities**\n\nEngineering continues to be an excellent choice for a career. It is the second largest profession, being exceeded only by teaching. Careers in engineering include: mechanical engineers, civil engineers, aerospace engineers, product developers, roboticists, water resources engineers, materials scientists, biomedical engineers, renewable energy engineers, chemical engineers, quality control engineers, researchers, engineering teachers, and project managers.\n\n**Program Learning Outcomes**\n\nUpon completion of this program a student will be able to:\n\n1.  Use engineering analysis to formulate logical problem solving approaches, generate solutions, and assess the reasonableness of the solutions\n2.  Design, construct, and produce creative solutions to engineering problems by applying the engineering design process\n3.  Apply scientific principles and mathematical analysis to solve science, math, and engineering problems"
