Engineering

Engineering combines the fields of science and math to solve real world problems that improve the world around us. What really distinguishes an engineer is their ability to implement ideas in a cost effective and practical approach. This ability to take a thought, or abstract idea, and translate it into reality is what separates an engineer from other fields of science and mathematics. 

Engineers are problem solvers, organizers, communicators, calculators and designers. They are capable of clearly defining a problem and its relevant constraints (such as time, cost, etc.) and providing a simple solution. A senior engineer will usually perform less technical work (calculations and designs) but instead focus on managing a project or team of engineers.

Midland College’s Engineering program is designed for students planning to transfer to four-year institutions, and includes courses in physics, chemistry, math, and engineering.

The Engineering Field of Study closely matches the first two years of bachelor’s degree programs in Engineering offered at four-year colleges. With this foundation, you will shape your future. 

Students pursuing a degree in engineering choose to focus their studies on one (or sometimes more) disciplines in engineering including mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering or electrical engineering. Others may choose to major in newer, more specialized fields like environmental engineering, computer engineering or biomedical engineering.

Midland College has articulation agreements with a variety of schools and programs to assist our students when transferring to a university.
