Engineering - Century Community and Technical College

Engineering from Century Community and Technical College is a Campus Associate Engineering General degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Century's Engineering program consists of the first two years of a baccalaureate degree , and includes all of the basic courses needed for transfer into most major engineering disciplines such as: * Chemical * Civil * Computer * Electrical * Mechanical What makes our program special is the blend of hands-on learning and theory. We integrate design experiences into all of our engineering classes because we feel that the best way to understand engineering is "to do engineering". At Century, our Engineering classes never exceed 30 students, allowing for a dynamic learning environment and easily accessible faculty. Innovative teaching methods such as team building, design emphasis, project assignments, and creative problem solving are utilized extensively in our engineering curriculum. The Century College Advisory Committee provides the department with valuable advice that ensures that the education you receive is relevant and prepares you for transfer and for your engineering career. "Fab lab" Our new state-of-the-art fabrication lab is aligned with MIT's highly successful fab lab network. In our "fab lab", you'll get to build all sorts of structures, machines, mechanisms, and circuits, including a rapid prototyping machine, laser cutter, CNC mini mill, and other machine tools. Engineering Club The Engineering club allows you to do more than coursework and provides you with a network of colleagues that you can socialize with or do projects. Past projects include building a remote controlled semiautonomous robot and fabricating an electricity-producing wind turbine. At the Century College Robot show you get to see all sorts of interesting contraptions. The public is invited to the show where Introduction to Engineering students display their inventions that are judged by practicing engineers. In our popular Introduction to Engineering Class you'll "learn by doing" projects such as building a robot. Career opportunities Engineers work across the spectrum of industries. The largest percentage is in manufacturing industries including electrical and electronic equipment, industrial machinery, aircraft and related parts, motor vehicles, chemical products, search and navigation equipment etc. Engineers are also employed in construction services, research and development, testing, and consulting services. Engineers also work in communications, utilities and computer industries. Government agencies hire engineers in defense, transportation, agriculture, energy, and teaching. Unemployment among engineers is extremely low relative to the population at large. View more details on Century Community and Technical College .
