Students earning an AS in Mechanical Engineering gain skills in mathematics, fundamental sciences, and engineering disciplines like mechanics, alongside complementary general education courses. The program requires completion of 37 units across all mandatory courses. This associate degree equips students to transition into a four-year mechanical engineering bachelor's program. Program Outcomes: Graduates will demonstrate the ability to recognize, analyze, and resolve engineering challenges using scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles; develop engineering solutions through the design process that address specified requirements while considering public safety, health, global impacts, and socioeconomic factors; convey technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences; collaborate effectively in teams by fostering leadership, inclusivity, goal-setting, and task completion; and successfully transfer to a bachelor's program to advance toward a specialized mechanical engineering career.
