Engineering - Civil

Students completing an AS degree in civil engineering develop abilities in mathematics, basic sciences, engineering topics such as structural statics, as well as general education subjects that complement technical content. Students must complete all required courses for a total of 37 units.  Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics; apply the engineering design process to create engineering solutions that meet specified needs that integrates consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors; communicate technical information effectively with a range of audiences; function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet technical objectives; and transfer to a bachelor's degree program in order to finish preparing for a career in a specific discipline of civil engineering.
