The Associate of Science in Engineering is designed to prepare students for upper-level engineering courses at a four-year college or university. The curriculum offers a firm foundation in mathematics, engineering, and natural science. Regardless of their area of specialization, engineers are required to apply principles of math and science, solve problems, create new systems, and envision new processes to meet the demands of a continually evolving global economy. Admission requirements vary by institution. Students are urged to familiarize themselves with the requirements of the college to which they intend to transfer and plan course selections with their DCC advisor.This transfer degree is designed to prepare students for upper-level engineering courses at a four-year college or university. It is part of the University of Virginia's Produced in Virginia initiative, which aims to increase the number of engineers graduated in the Commonwealth.This program is rigorous. Students must feel comfortable doing high level math and science, regardless of area of specialization. Students who are not prepared in math are encouraged to take preparatory courses first and proceed at a slower pace to increase their likelihood of success.Program Outcomes: Graduates will demonstrate the ability to:Apply engineering problem-solving methodology.Apply knowledge of math, sciences and engineering principles to engineering problems.Conduct experiments, & analyze & interpret data.Function in a team and to communicate effectively and professionally.Describe professional & ethical responsibility.

Job Corps’ Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills needed to work with electrical systems in homes, businesses and factories, including how to install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in places of all sizes, read blueprints and diagrams and will need to follow state and local building regulations, and use various hand tools and power tools. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and certifications in construction health and safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

St. Louis Community College's General STEM Transfer Studies, Associate in Science degree program is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university and major in one of the traditional STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, math) with a heavy emphasis on undergraduate mathematics or science.Students should become familiar with the requirements at the institution to which they plan to transfer and select their transfer courses carefully. Many bachelor's degree programs have very specific requirements for the freshman and sophomore years, and it is the transferring student's responsibility to ensure that courses will apply to the bachelor's degree. Students are encouraged to talk to an advisor to assist in planning a program of study or if they are considering a change in academic plans. Information about the requirements of many transfer institutions is available at stlcc.edu/transfer.

The Industrial Maintenance Technology program prepares students for a broad range of industrial maintenance related careers using industry-guided curriculum combined with practical hands-on labs. First year studies include hand & power tools, precision measurement, fasteners, mechanical drawings, machine components, electrical circuits & prints, mechanical power transmission, machining, piping, robotics, rigging, pneumatics & hydraulics. During the second year, students learn pumps & compressors, PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers), electric motors & transformers, electric motor controls, and troubleshooting industrial maintenance equipment. Students gain experience and skills in many industrial subjects so they enter industry as a multi-craft, skilled-trades professional. Students learn to think critically and apply their knowledge to solve problems on the plant and factory floor. Students learn employability skills and how to successfully work in teams. This program produces what today’s industry requires: a college educated multi-skilled professional to successfully tackle the 21st century industrial environment. Students have the option of an alternate 2nd year emphasis in Advanced Manufacturing Technology. This encompasses computer-integrated manufacturing and automation, and Industry 4.0/IIoT (the Industrial Internet of Things). Marketable skills for this award include: building effective relationships, critical thinking, customer service, and technical skills.

The Certificate of Completion in Robotics and Automation prepares individuals for employment as Industrial Maintenance Technicians in commercial and industrial fields. The program builds a solid foundation in basic electrical principles; motors and controls; robotics; schematics; troubleshooting complex electrical systems; hydraulics and pneumatics; mechanical systems; PLC programming; and automation. Additionally, the program prepares students to take the Fluid Power and Society of Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP) Certification exam. The capstone course for this Certificate of Completion is INMT 2345, Industrial Troubleshooting.

Robotics/Automated Systems Technologies prepare students for employment in advance manufacturing and for emerging technologies.A robotics technologist applies traditional electro-mechanical skills with knowledge of programming, controls, and networking to mechatronics concepts as related to robotic systems. Individuals in the field of robotics apply logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of approaches to problems, or to alternative solutions for innovations in technology leading to development of new applications and markets for robotics.
