Why major in Engineering?
Engineers design processes and materials used to manufacture equipment, structures, devices, and systems of all types and sizes based on scientific and technological principles. The challenge is to continually improve these processes and materials to meet the needs of society with respect to health, safety, the environment, and energy while maintaining cost effectiveness. ECC’s Engineering A.S. degree program closely matches the first two years of B.S. degree programs in Engineering offered at four-year colleges. Students select one of the following branches of engineering: electrical, computer, biomedical, chemical, industrial, civil, or mechanical.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
Analyze engineering drawings, demonstrating an understanding of the concept of scale and orthographic projection;
Assist engineers and technologists in performing tasks relevant to the chosen branch of engineering;
Complete written engineering reports using skills acquired in ECC’s science, engineering, and English courses;
Write computer programs to solve engineering based problems using skills acquired in ECC’s computer science and engineering courses;
Complete computer aided design (CAD) drawings;
For civil, industrial and mechanical engineering majors, demonstrate knowledge of fundamental principles of engineering mechanics and strength of materials;
For electrical and computer engineering majors, demonstrate knowledge of electrical circuits;
For biomedical or chemical engineering majors, demonstrate knowledge of biology or organic chemistry; and
Utilize computer software applications used in engineering such as spreadsheets, word processing and basic programming.
