Total Credits Required: 90

This degree gives students the opportunity to make substantial progress toward fulfilling major requirements while completing at least half of the Breadth requirements for Humanities and Social Science. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee students admission to the major. The college recommends that the student identify one or two potential transfer schools and then contact qualified program advisors at those institutions as early as possible to obtain specific, course-by-course advice.

Career Outlook

At a basic level, engineers apply scientific and mathematical principles to make the world a better place. They may design machines, roads, building, or circuitry; combine the inventions of others to develop or improve processes; oversee the operation of technological equipment in facilities ranging from waste treatment plants to large manufacturing facilities to water purification plants; develop new materials that are stronger, lighter, or more environmentally friendly.

Future Education Opportunities

The AS-T 2 Pre-Engineering degreе path allows students to prepare for upper divisions study toward a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering and enter the college or university at junior standing, should they be admitted to the school’s engineering program.
