Engineering is the application of science and mathematics to design, build, and innovate solutions that improve the world around us. It helps us understand how structures, systems, and technologies function and evolve to meet human needs. A strong foundation in engineering is essential for careers in aerospace, robotics, renewable energy, biomedical innovation, and countless other fields. Engineering holds the key to solving global challenges—developing sustainable infrastructure, advancing medical technology, and creating cutting-edge solutions for a better future. If you're passionate about problem-solving, innovation, and making a tangible impact, this is the field for you.
Apply NowIn addition to the Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree, students may earn and AS degree listed below. This can be earned along with the APE or instead of the APE.
The AS degrees require the full general education requirements and fewer engineering prerequisites. The most efficient path to a bachelor's degree in engineering is to complete the APE at Snow College. Students earning only an AS engineering degree at Snow will need to complete prerequisites at their transfer institution before beginning their junior-year course work.
While we recommend that engineering students earn the APE and/or the Associate of Science (AS), an AA degrees are also available. The Associate of Arts has the same requirements as the AS with the addition of a foreign language (complete a 1020-level language course). Please see your academic advisor for full details.
