Renewable Materials: Science & Engineering

Associate of Science Degree

Articulated with Oregon State University

The Science & Engineering option is a flexible, math- and science-intensive option that allows students to design a personalized curriculum that opens doors to jobs that solve complex problems, create efficiencies, and foster intelligent use of renewable materials.

Careers

Wood is a renewable resource that is used to make many products that our society uses every day. Oregon is a leader in the manufacturing and utilization of wood products. There are exciting new technological advances in wood manufacturing that are rapidly expanding the opportunities to utilize wood as a building material. There is a strong job demand for these skills, and there are many scholarship opportunities for students and job opportunities for graduates with this degree.

Why UCC?

The freshman and sophomore years at most universities are designated pre-engineering, with the junior and senior years designated professional engineering. Many of the transfer courses during the first two years of study are math, science and elective courses. At UCC, you can take the required core courses in smaller classroom settings and at lower cost than at four-year institutions. The Associate of Science (AS) degree is awarded once all required courses, electives and general education requirements are successfully completed.
