The Associate of Science in Mechanical Engineering is a two-year program for students planning to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. A mechanical engineer designs, develops, and tests all aspects of mechanical components, equipment, and machinery. Mechanical engineers apply knowledge of engineering principles to design products such as engines, instruments, controls, robots, machines, etc. They are also routinely involved in fabrication, operation, application, installation, and/or repair of mechanical products.
