Located in the Broome County city of Binghamtom and part of the SUNY school system of New York, Broome Community College offers an Associate of Applied Science in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Technology. They consist of 69.5, 72.5 and 71.5 credits, respectively. The civil-engineering track is for people who wish to work with engineers who are partly responsible for the construction of some of the country's structures such as airports, roads and bridges. Electrical engineering concerns the design and testing of electrical equipment, while mechanical engineering concerns a variety of mechanical devices that includes generators and car engines.
Lorain County Community College, based in Elyria, Ohio, also has associate degree specializations in the engineering field. Students can choose to concentrate on electronic engineering if they prefer working with electronic equipment such as digital-music players and global positioning systems (GPS), or move to its computer engineering offshoot. The manufacturing-engineering track -- also known as mechanical engineering -- is for people interested in the design, maintenance and repair of mechanical devices or automated equipment. The number of credits needed for graduation ranges from 66 to 68.
The Rhode Island-based New England Institute of Technology offers the Associate of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology. The technical school emphasizes its training of students to rely on computer-aided drafting technology abbreviated as CAD or CADD for product design. The curriculum consists of courses such as Manufacturing Health and Safety, Kinematics, Manufacturing Automation, and Metrology. Associate engineering-degree students also have to take a selection of classes in subjects such as English, physics and mathematics.
The associate-engineering program at Oklahoma City Community College is a generalized affair, with no specialization for students to pick. The curriculum offers core courses such as Electrical Science, Thermodynamics, Rigid Body Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics. Students need a minimum of 61 to 63 credits to complete the program.
