Description:
The engineering curriculum offers a three year stackable program where, during your first year you will earn a Technical Design Certificate, after your second year you will earn a Computational Design Certificate and after your third year you will earn your AS degree in Engineering. These certificates and degrees can help you start your career or transfer to a UC/CSU. You will become apart of the engineering community, learn about the latest technology, and develop designs that will change people's lives.
What can I do with this Major?
The engineering curriculum offers a three year stackable program where, during your first year you will earn a Technical Design Certificate that will help you get hired at an engineering company as an intern or drafter for a manufacturing, construction or design company. After your second year, you will earn a Computational Design Certificate that will help you apply for research assistantships or lab technicians. After your third year, you will earn your AS degree in Engineering which will set you up to transfer to a UC/CSU or help you apply for junior engineering positions at construction, manufacturing, or design firms
