This document provides definitions and information about several engineering fields. Chemical engineering involves designing and developing industrial processes to manufacture chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other products. Civil engineering focuses on planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining infrastructure projects like buildings, roads, and bridges. Electrical engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Mechanical engineering is concerned with using physical laws and principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. The rest of the document outlines a suggested program of study for an associate's degree, including general education requirements and elective courses in math, science, and computer science.
