126 Engineering Definition Engineering is concerned with the application of scientific and mathematical theories and principles to solve practical technical problems. Staff College Phone 943-3241 Program Advisement: Frank Roberts, Dean Ext. 570 Administrative Secretary Maureen Rethwisch Ext. 571 Faculty: Richard Dormer Ext. 628 Adjunct Faculty: Buddy Bocock Larry Jernigan Program Description The Engineering program at Antelope Va l ley College has f our distinct components: the Engineering certificate program, the Drafting Technology certificate program, the Engineering transfer program, and the Engineering Technology transfer program Distinctive Features The Engineering program offers the student challenging and rewarding classes that transfer to four year universities in California. The Engineering Technology program has been matched to California State University, Long Beach, and to a lesser extent to Cal-Poly Pomona.

NOTE: Substitutions may be made for certain courses that may not be offered in the two-year period. Associate Degrees The major requirements for an associate degree in Engineering Aide/Civil Engineering Technology may be satisfied by completing a minimum of 18 units from the certificate program. Of these 18 units, at least 12 units must be from the required certificate courses rather than the supporting list of courses. (See Graduation/Associate Degree Requirements.) The requirements for an associate degree with an Engineering Technician major may be satisfied by completing a minimum of 18 units from the courses listed below.
