Engineering Research Guide

A research guide for students studying civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering.

Welcome!

Engineering at Columbia State

CIVIL ENGINEERING
TTP: A.S.

If you are fascinated by how a watch works or how bridges and dams are built, you may find a career in Engineering the perfect fit. Most careers in the field require a bachelor's degree or higher and Columbia State can help you get there with its two year program. Our students work closely with science and math faculty and have ample access to science and computer labs.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
TTP: A.S.

Most careers in engineering require a bachelor’s degree or higher so the Associate of Science in Electrical Engineering is designed for students wanting to complete the first two years of the bachelor’s degree in a community college setting. Research, design, develop, test, or supervise the manufacturing and installation of electrical equipment, components, or systems for commercial, industrial, military, or scientific use.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
TTP: A.S.

Most careers in the field require a bachelor's degree or higher and Columbia State can help you get there with its two year program. Our students work closely with science and math faculty and have ample access to science and computer labs.
