The Engineering, Math & Physical Sciences Division offers a variety of programs designed to meet students' diverse needs. We provide transfer programs leading to an Associate in Science (A.S.) or an Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S.), as well as career-focused programs in Manufacturing, Engineering, and Advanced Technologies culminating in certificates and/or an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.).

Our Associate in Science (A.S.) program covers fields such as Computer Science, Earth Science, Geography, Mathematics, and Physics. The Mathematics, Physics, Earth Science, and Geography departments also support students in fulfilling general education requirements for various degrees and certificates.

The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree provides specialized training to prepare students for immediate employment in areas such as Automation, Robotics, and Mechatronics; Automotive Collision Repair, Automotive Technology; CAD-Drafting Technology; Electrical Technology; Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) Engineering Technology; Industrial Technology; Mechanical Engineering Technology; Precision Machining Technology; and Welding and Fabrication Technology. Students may take individual courses to enhance existing skills or pursue a two-year program leading to an A.A.S. degree. Alternatively, students can complete a shorter course sequence to earn a certificate.

Although A.A.S. degrees are primarily designed for direct entry into the workforce, many programs can transfer to four-year colleges and universities. For more information, consult a CLC Academic Success Advisor or Career Navigator.
