E ngineers transform scientific and mathematical principles into useful goods and services. An engineer may work in the office or out in the field. The engineer is an innovator as well as a problem solver. The engineer collects data and analyzes it. An important tool of the engineer is the computer and its multiple applications that are used for design and problem solving.
E ngineering is one of the older and more respected professions.
Many engineers start their own businesses or become industrial managers, so their higher income is no longer recorded under engineering. T here are important advantages in completing the first two years of engineering at Shasta College. First, engineering students at Shasta College realize major savings in tuition and living expenses. Second, Shasta College engineering students who transfer to universities as juniors are better prepared than those students who received their first 2 years of education at that university. That better education is typical of community colleges.
