ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE: PHYSICS OR PRE-ENGINEERING
Students who complete this program are prepared to pursue the bachelor's degree in physics, engineering, or a related field at a senior college or university. Physicists use systematic observation and experimentation to investigate the structure of the universe and the interaction of matter and energy. Career opportunities include education, research, and product development. Engineers develop practical applications for scientific discoveries. Many career opportunities are found in subspecialties such as aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical, mining, nuclear, and petroleum engineering. Academic advisement for this program is provided by the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
