Engineering, Associate of Arts or Science (AA/AS)
Engineering is the profession in which the physical, biological, and social sciences are applied to solve practical problems for the benefit of society. As an engineering student, you will learn to observe and describe problems that deal with human needs and to seek useful solutions to these problems. Your skills upon graduation will be useful to you not only as an engineer, but also as a professional in management, sales, operations, manufacturing and other fields.
