Engineers design and create the future. They use the principles of math, science, and engineering to design and build new products or to develop large-scale systems such as transportation networks or water treatment plants. Engineering problems usually involve teams of people, so engineers must work well with others and communicate effectively. The Associate in Science in Engineering is designed to prepare students for transfer to engineering programs at four-year universities. Upon completion of the Associate in Science in Engineering, students will possess the knowledge and skills required for upper-division coursework in Engineering.

Engineering Technology is the powerhouse department that combines training in composites manufacturing and mechatronics. Classes introduce students to materials science, composite materials, engineering design, mechatronics, and automation technology. Gain experience in hands-on state-of-the-art labs equipped with 3D printers, 3D scanners, injection molders, and robotic arms, along with equipment to test, construct, design, and build items both large and small. Capstone projects include fan-powered, radio-controlled robotic cars with printed and composite parts.

The Engineering program is a two-year preparatory curriculum for students who plan to continue their education at a four-year institution and complete their major in an engineering science field.

The A.S. Engineering Science degree prepares students to enter B.S. Engineering Science programs as juniors. Students develop a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, with emphasis on engineering applications and the use of the computer as a problem-solving tool.

Engineering is the art of applying scientific and mathematical principles, experience, judgment, and common sense to make things that benefit people. Engineers solve problems. They improve and develop products to meet consumer and societal needs. They find ways for existing products to work better, last longer, operate more safely, and cost less. They also look for innovative solutions to global problems. Engineers design bridges and important medical equipment as well as processes for cleaning up toxic spills and systems for mass transit.

The Engineering Technology A.S. Degree Program at Daytona State College prepares students for employment or provides additional training for persons employed in the highly evolving manufacturing (embedded with new technology) and high-technology industries. The Engineering Technology Associate in Science is fully transferable to four-year BSET degree-granting institutions.

The college offers a number of Engineering degrees that are articulated in specific liberal arts majors. These degrees do not include the entire Core Curriculum. An articulated degree will transfer to specific universities. A student who transfers to the specified universities will not be Core complete if he/she completes one of the degrees listed below.

The Drafting Program at Santa Barbara City College focuses on application of state-of-the-art Computer-Aided Design Systems and applying engineering and architectural principles, fundamentals, and methods to achieve practical results. This degree program offers comprehensive training for entry-level drafting positions as well as providing students with technical knowledge and skills for transfer to upper division programs at four-year institutions.

Engineering is a growing profession integrating science and mathematics with design and laboratory studies. It is and will be the profession upon which the United States depends on its growth and ability to compete in world markets. Our Engineering Science program parallels the first two years of the four-year engineering curriculum of most engineering schools throughout the country. The program not only leads to an Associate in Science degree but also to transfer to a host of engineering schools.

The Associate of Science Degree in Engineering is a strong and successful program designed to fully prepare students for transfer into bachelor’s degree programs in engineering at four-year colleges and universities.

The Associate of Science in Engineering is designed to prepare students to continue studies toward a B.S. degree in any field of Engineering. The program intends to help students transfer to an Engineering degree program in the UC/CSU system.

The Associate in Science Engineering program is designed to prepare beginning engineering students to successfully transfer to baccalaureate engineering programs. Participants in the associate program will enroll in science, mathematics, and engineering courses that provide serious students with the knowledge and background necessary to take upper level courses in their chosen field of study.

The Associate of Science with an emphasis in Engineering is for students interested in transferring a bachelor’s degree to Portland State University, Oregon State University, Oregon Tech (Oregon Institute of Technology) or George Fox University.

The Engineering Transfer department curriculum is formulated to meet the specific needs of students whose goal is to transfer to a four-year Engineering Degree program.

Evergreen Valley College offers a two-year lower-division Engineering Program that allows students to transfer to any four-year California College or University offering a degree in Engineering. The lower division Engineering Core Courses recommended by the Engineering Liaison Committee of the State of California have been coordinated between community colleges and the four-year colleges and universities throughout California. The Associate in Arts and the Associate in Science Degrees are available for engineering students. The engineering degree programs consist of the Engineering Core courses plus General Education courses that satisfy graduation requirements. Students wishing to transfer to a four-year institution in a branch of engineering, but do not wish to obtain an Associate Degree must complete the Engineering Core courses and obtain a Verification of Completion Form from the office of Admissions & Records before transferring. It is recommended that students complete as much of their General Education requirements as possible. To facilitate the application process to four-year institutions, students should request a Verification of Completion Form from the Office of Admissions and Records for verification of completion of the lower division Engineering Core courses. A grade of “C” or better in each major course and the major elective course is required for this degree.
