What will I learn?
An Associate in Science Degree may be earned by completing a minimum of 60 units of degree credit coursework, including the major requirements and breadth requirements, with a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Students must complete all courses for the major with a grade of C or better. The Engineering Program is the discipline of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design, and build structures, machines, devices, systems, and materials.A background in engineering is important not only to engineers, but also to students interested in chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine. Details of the CCC engineering program appear below.In addition to engineering courses, engineering students will need to develop a strong background in math and physics.An Associate in Science degree in Engineering can be used as a strong steppingstone into more advanced studies and a career in engineering fields such as: civil, mechanical, electrical, environmental, aerospace, industrial, chemical, and nuclear engineering. Other related fields include: geology, physics, applied physics, biophysics, biotechnology, and astronomy.
