Engineering - Civil/Mechanical Option, Associate of Science (AS) Program

CRC's program provides the foundation in mathematics, physics, and engineering necessary to transfer to a university and complete a bachelor's degree in engineering. Engineering involves the application of scientific and mathematical principles needed to solve practical technical problems. Although the first two years of engineering courses for all engineering degrees are similar, students should consult the lower division requirements of the institution to which they wish to transfer.

Program Objectives

• Develop a strong foundation in mathematics and physics as they apply to engineering.
• Understand the core principles of civil and mechanical engineering.
• Gain practical experience through hands-on projects and laboratory work.
• Enhance problem-solving and critical-thinking skills relevant to engineering challenges.
• Prepare for seamless transfer to a 4-year engineering program or entry-level employment.
