Engineering, Mechanical/Civil Concentration, A.S.

Program Director: Tricia Crossett · Phone: 410-386-8529 · Email: tcrossett@carrollcc.edu

The purpose of the Associate of Science program in Engineering with a concentration in Mechanical/Civil is to prepare students to continue their studies towards a baccalaureate degree in engineering. Students acquire a solid foundation in mathematics, science, and engineering while developing their ability to think critically and solve problems.
