What
will this program do for me?
This program is designed to provide the educational requirements for
entry level jobs as an Engineering Assistant in an engineering design
office.
What
kind of job can I get once I complete the program?
Engineers develop the skill to design functional products and
systems based upon a foundation formed from engineering, physical
science, and mathematics course work. They pursue rewarding careers in
a professional environment with good employment and advancement
opportunities. City College of San Francisco offers courses leading to
the Associate of Science Degree and Major in Engineering. Graduates
generally transfer to four-year institutions as juniors where they can
major in computer, electrical, electronics, mechanical, civil,
industrial, chemical, manufacturing or other engineering. Others seek
employment as an engineering assistant working in consulting offices
preparing design documents, CAD work and other related duties.
How
much can I earn in this career?
Salaries should be comparable to Engineering Technicians with a
national median of approximately $40,000. Bay Area salaries may be
higher. Please refer to the Occupational Outlook Handbook for more information regarding job prospects and salary scales.
What are the prerequisites?
Math
through trigonometry, high school physics (1 year) and high school
chemistry (1 year). City College offers all the equivalent course work
for these prerequisites.
How
long will the program take?
Theoretically two years if fully prepared and you are a full time
student taking a full load. Some summer school course work would
likely be required. Most students take longer because of lack of
prerequisites courses and/or taking less than a full time load.
