Associate in Science Degree

Engineering Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Program

Overview

The Engineering Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Associate in Science program of study is designed to give students the core skills and knowledge needed to be successful in acquiring a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering. The program is structured to be completed within two years and with careful advisor assisted selection of the engineering, mathematics, and science electives a student can be prepared to transfer to almost any college or university offering a baccalaureate in engineering or manufacturing program. Furthermore, the student should be able to complete remaining Bachelor of Science requirements within 2 to 3 years.

Students take four math courses, Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, and Differential Equations, as they will be applying high levels of math throughout their engineering program education. Additionally, they learn the advanced physics and computer-aided design concepts that underlie modern engineering/manufacturing processes and procedures. They hone their critical thinking skills and become versed in the processes needed to systematically solve problems and to develop an idea into a finished product. Direct hands-on experience in the application and use of state-of-the-art engineering and manufacturing equipment is gained through laboratory sessions that are associated with the majority of the program specific courses.

Pursuing the Engineering Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Associate in Science program at Cape Cod Community College provides students access to a full suite of prerequisite and remedial courses when course per-requirements need to be met, additionally a smaller class size with more individualized attention will generally be found, and there is a significantly lower price point than that at most four year institutions.

Note: This degree has advanced mathematics requirements: Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, and Differential Equations.
