Civil or Mechanical Engineering
This program is designed to give you the first two years of a Bachelor’s degree.
What You'll Learn
Build the accuracy, problem-solving, and design instincts at the heart of civil and mechanical engineering.
Develop core skills in statics, dynamics, strength of materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and structural/engineering graphics, grounded in calculus and physics. In labs and team design work, you’ll learn to analyze loads and motion, evaluate material performance, and design systems and structures that are safe, efficient, and buildable—from machines and thermal systems to bridges, buildings, and infrastructure. Graduates leave ready to transfer into a four-year engineering program with the analytical, modeling, and design toolkit universities and employers expect.
Where You’ll Go
