Mechanical, Aerospace, and Manufacturing Engineering
Certificate of Achievement
Program Details
The Engineering: Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing track program at Glendale College is designed to satisfy the lower division requirements of a 4-year mechanical engineering program so that students can transfer to an ABET accredited university and complete their training in two years (60 units or less). Emphasis is placed on articulating to the California State University, CSU and University of California, UC systems. Students develop a foundational mixture of analytical knowledge and practical project based hands-on skills that prepares them to succeed in a range of mechanical engineering topics such as energy, machine design, fluid and thermal sciences, sustainability and design.
