Solving Problems Through Engineering
In today’s competitive marketplace, engineers play an important role in advancing technology,
improving and updating product designs and optimizing manufacturing processes. Now more
than ever, companies rely on engineers to increase productivity, expand the output of goods
and services and devise new methods to increase innovation. New technologies continue
to improve the design process, enabling engineers to produce and analyze various product
designs much more rapidly than in the past. Engineers are needed to provide the ideas that
lead to improved products and more productive processes. They use computers extensively
to produce and analyze designs; to simulate and test how a machine, structure or system
operates; to generate specifications for parts; to monitor the quality of products; and to
control the efficiency of processes.
Students who pursue any sub-specialty in the field of engineering should possess the ability
to excel in the subjects of math and science, be attracted to problem-solving situations and
enjoy working in any industrial setting.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS FIELD
FEES
The Associate in Science degree in
Engineering Science is a 69-71-credit-hour
program that provides students with the
first two years of study toward the pursuit
of a Bachelor of Science degree at a fouryear college or university. Students take
fundamental courses common to most
engineering disciplines and continue their
studies in specialized areas (such as electrical,
mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace, and
nuclear engineering) during their remaining
years at a four-year college or university.
The A.S. in Engineering Science is a
specialized degree intended for transfer into
a pre-professional program and provides the
necessary flexibility to meet the technical
and general education requirements
indicated in the receiving institution’s transfer
guidelines. St. Louis Community College
works closely with Missouri University
of Science and Technology, University of
Missouri-Columbia, Washington University,
Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville,
UM-St. Louis/Washington University Joint
Engineering program, St. Louis University and
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to facilitate
the transferability of specific courses.
Unlike other occupations, technological
advances will require more engineers in the
future, resulting in unlimited employment
opportunities. Most engineering
subspecialties—electrical, chemical,
mechanical, civil, industrial, hardware and
software, petroleum, biomedical, nuclear,
aerospace—are in demand today, as are
sales positions in those areas. Engineers
apply the principles of science and
mathematics to develop economical
solutions to technical problems. Their work
is the link between scientific discoveries
and the commercial applications that meet
societal and consumer needs.

SALARY INFORMATION
Individual salaries vary by geographic
location, the student’s education and
experience and the type and size of the
employer. Salary amounts vary among the
many engineering specialties, but as a group,
engineers earn some of the highest average
starting salaries among those holding
bachelor’s degrees. Median starting salaries
for engineering disciplines range from
$50,000 to $70,000 annually.
You can earn this degree at: Florissant Valley Meramec
You may take general education classes toward this degree at any of our campuses or education centers.
