Engineering Science

Associate in Science degree (AS)

Graduates of the Associate in Science degree program in Engineering Science are prepared for admission with advanced standing to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) engineering program. To facilitate placement in the majority of baccalaureate engineering degree programs, it is strongly advised that students complete the following course of study leading to the Associate in Science degree. The Engineering Science curriculum is a cooperative offering of the engineering technology, science, and mathematics programs, and is coordinated by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) Department. Academic advisement is provided by the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (Technology Building, Room 20, telephone 718-631-6207), the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology and Design Drafting (Science Building, Room 124, telephone 718-631-6294), and the Department of Physics (Science Building, Room 342, tele- phone 718-631-6366). Interested students should contact the ECET Department (T-20, 718-631-6207) as soon as possible following admission to the College.

Student Learning Outcomes for Academic Programs

A.S. in Engineering Science

General Education Outcomes

A robust general education is founded on the knowledge, concepts, methods, and perspectives that students gain through the study of many academic disciplines. These disciplinary studies stimulate intellectual inquiry, global awareness, and cultural and artistic appreciation: they equip students to make informed judgments and remain engaged beyond the classroom. To that end, QCC promotes educational activities that allow students to demonstrate that they can:

Communicate effectively in various forms
Use analytical reasoning to identify issues or problems and evaluate evidence in order to make informed decisions
Reason quantitatively as required in various fields of interest and in everyday life
Apply information management and digital technology skills useful for academic research and lifelong learning
Apply scientific methods and reasoning to investigate issues or problems in the natural and social sciences in order to draw conclusions

To support these institutional general education outcomes, the academic departments-;through their programs-may also assess the ability of students to:

Integrate knowledge and skills in the program of study
Make ethical judgments while recognizing multiple perspectives, as appropriate in the program of study
Work collaboratively to accomplish learning objectives
