Associate of Science Track 2 / Major Related Program - Associate in Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

The curriculum must require students to apply principles of engineering, basic science (including calculus-based physics and chemistry), mathematics (including calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations), and engineering fundamentals coursework; to prepare students for transfer to an ABET accredited bachelor’s degree program, and eventually to work professionally in civil, mechanical, or aerospace fields.

Communicate through multiple modes to address a variety of professional contexts.

Express problems and solutions using both mathematical and non-mathematical languages.

Compare, analyze and evaluate information and ideas to solve problems.

Locate, evaluate, retrieve and ethically use relevant and current information of appropriate authority for academic or, as applicable, specific professional/ technical applications.

Evaluate sources of error and/or bias in data sets.

Apply engineering design processes to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of equity, public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors

Function effectively on a diverse team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives

Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations using relevant professional ethics codes, and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic contexts
