Are you fascinated by navigation systems? Or the structure of tunnels, roads, and
bridges? Do you aspire to develop the next sustainable source of energy? Or, maybe
the next mode of transportation? Then, you should consider a career as an engineer!
SCC’s engineering programs will give you a robust foundation in the field while introducing
you to specialties like chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. You’ll
be well-prepared to transfer to a four-year program after successfully completing
your associate degree, setting you up for success in one of the highest-paying industries.
SCC will give you the engineering foundation to pursue your grandest ambitions, whether
that’s helping NASA locate water on Mars or inventing a system to mitigate water issues
right here on Earth.

SCC's Associate of Science degree is specifically designed to transfer to the following
programs or institutions:
- Missouri S&T
- SIUE – School of Engineering
- UMSL/WashU Joint Engineering program
- University of Missouri (MIZZOU) – College of Engineering
- Washington University in St. Louis – McKelvey School of Engineering
SCC's engineering courses incorporate an engineering design project that challenges
students to apply course concepts, solve open-ended problems, and increase their overall
understanding; an experience students typically don’t get until their junior or senior
year.
Students will:
- Be able to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying
principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Be able to design solutions to meet specified needs with consideration of public health,
safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic
factors.
- Be able to communicate effectively with a range of audiences, enabling them to be
effective collaborators and confident in their presentation skills.
- Be able to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities and make informed judgments,
considering the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental,
and societal contexts.
