Engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to design, build, and analyze structures, machines, systems, and processes. Students take engineering courses to prepare for majors in fields such as mechanical, aerospace, civil, and electrical engineering. Courses introduce foundational concepts in statics, dynamics, and electrical circuits. These courses also support preparation for transfer into four-year engineering programs. A bachelor's degree in engineering can lead to careers in industries such as aerospace, energy, construction, electronics, manufacturing, transportation, robotics, and product design.
