Civil Engineering Concentration
Program Description
The Civil Engineering Concentration within the Associate in Science in Mathematics and Pre-Engineering is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a related engineering discipline.
This concentration provides a strong foundation in calculus, physics, and engineering principles used in the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure systems. Students develop analytical and problem-solving skills while exploring how engineers design structures, transportation systems, water systems, and other essential components of the built environment. Coursework emphasizes quantitative reasoning, scientific analysis, and the application of mathematics and physics to engineering challenges.
The program prepares students for upper-level coursework in civil engineering and related infrastructure and environmental engineering fields.
Transfer Information
The Civil Engineering concentration is structured to align with bachelor’s degree programs in civil engineering and related disciplines such as structural engineering, transportation engineering, and environmental engineering.
Students are encouraged to work closely with faculty and Advising & Transfer Services to ensure coursework aligns with the requirements of their intended transfer institution. Because engineering programs require carefully sequenced coursework in calculus, physics, and technical subjects, students should follow the recommended course sequence to remain on track for transfer.
Students planning to transfer within New Jersey should explore the “Transfer Programs” feature on NJ Transfer (www.njtransfer.org) to review articulation agreements and institutional requirements.
Career Information
The A.S. in Mathematics and Pre-Engineering – Civil Engineering Concentration is designed primarily for transfer. A bachelor’s degree in civil engineering is typically required for professional roles in the field.
With further education, graduates may pursue careers such as:
- Civil Engineer
- Structural Engineer
- Transportation Engineer
- Environmental Engineer
- Construction Project Engineer
Students are encouraged to consult with faculty and Career Services early in their academic journey to explore transfer pathways, internships, and career opportunities in civil engineering and infrastructure development.
