Engineering, A.S.


Professor Elmer Wolf Engineering Program

Three students working together in an engineering lab.

Program Description


Aerospace, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental Science, Industrial and Mechanical

The Engineering program offers the first two years of a four-year engineering curriculum and prepares graduates for transfer to bachelor’s degree programs at leading engineering colleges throughout the country. The first two years are common to most fields of engineering (e.g., civil, electrical, and mechanical), but in the second year some students may begin to specialize in a field of their choice (e.g., chemical engineering).

The stated sequence of courses for the Engineering program assumes the completion of all prerequisites for the mathematics courses. Contact the STEM Division for further information.

Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to:

  • Employ computer software applications to represent and solve technical problems;
  • Analyze problems of a technical nature and evaluate the merits of alternative proposals in the design of computer-based solutions;
  • Perform laboratory procedures and assess the validity of experimental/diagnostic data;
  • Employ critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve technical problems;
  • Express and interpret both technical and non-technical concepts orally, in writing, and in electronic formats;
  • Demonstrate information literacy through familiarity and the effective use of engineering information resources.

After UCNJ


Graduates are eligible to take advantage of the many transfer/articulation agreements UCNJ has with some of the top four-year colleges and universities in the country. See a transfer advisor for details.
