Engineers use analytical and technical tools to provide create yet economical solutions to problems. Degreed engineers have been consistently in demand, commanding the highest starting salaries among college graduates. Triton Colleges engineering curriculum offers courses required in the first two years of the bachelor's degree program in all engineering majors. In order to graduate with a bachelor's degree in four years, students are encouraged to follow the curriculum requirements of the engineering major and college to which they transfer, Since this curriculum places emphasis on mathematics and its applications in the sciences, students should possess skills in this area.
Completion of this curriculum and compliance with other graduation requirements will enable the students to earn and AES degree and to continue working toward a wide choice of specialized field of engineering, including mechanical, civil, electrical, computer, industrial, and aerospace engineering.
Students should note that four-year colleges and universities vary in specific course and transfer requirements. Therefore, it is important that in selecting Triton courses students consult the Transfer Center as well as the catalog and/or admissions advisors at the senior institution to which transfer is intended.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of the Associate in Engineering Science (AES) Degree, the graduate will be able to:
- Develop ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- Develop ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Function effectively on a team, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Develop and conduct appropriate laboratory experiment.
- Analyze and interpret data gathered from laboratory experiment, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- Develop ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate engineering learning strategies.
