AA/AS in Engineering, General

The Associate of Science in Engineering at Wharton County Junior College covers the groundwork of engineering study and is aimed at students who intend to finish a bachelor's degree elsewhere. A full-time student can complete the degree in two years. Mathematics and science courses form the core, giving a solid footing in STEM principles and in applying engineering ideas to real problems. The courses are built so credits carry over to a baccalaureate school. Later careers named by the college include aerospace, electrical and electronic engineering, architecture, and technologist or technician roles in mechanical and civil fields. The college serves the Upper Texas Gulf Coast from several campuses. Prospective students can consult the college catalog for course details, follow the academic map for a semester-by-semester plan, and speak with an advisor or the department before they submit an application.
