Student Panel

The Math Department is dedicated to teaching, learning, and exploring mathematics and its applications. The department offers courses leading to an Associate of Science degree in Mathematics or leading to an Associate of Science degree in Engineering. Both of these programs provide the basic preparation leading to science-related careers. The Mathematics degree also provides basic preparation for those interested in a career of teaching mathematics. We offer a variety of excellent course offerings. We have classes offered in the day, in the evening and online.

Careers

Aerospace engineers conceive, design develop, test, and supervise the construction or aerospace vehicle systems such as commercial and military aircraft, helicopters and other types of rotorcraft, and space vehicles and satellites, including launch systems.

Bioengineers solve problems in biology and medicine by applying principles of physical sciences and engineering while applying biological principles to create new engineering paradigms, such as biometric materials, DNA computing, and neural networking.

Chemical engineers work in the biochemical and petroleum industries, and in areas such as energy, nanotechnology, systems engineering, biotechnology and biomedical engineering, and advanced materials processing, as well as overseeing the chemical process in many industries.

Computer Scientists are concerned with the design, modeling, analysis and applications of computer-related systems. They work in areas such as computer system architecture, computer networks, distributed computer systems, programming languages and software systems, information and data management, artificial intelligence, computer science theory, computational systems biology and bioinformatics, and computer vision and graphics.

Electrical engineers develop circuits, devices, algorithms, and theories that can be used to sense data, analyze data,extrapilate data, communicate data, and take action in response to the data collected.

Industrial engineers focus on the designs, analysis, and optimization of business production systems.

Material engineers are concerned with the structure and properties of materials used in modern technology. They build on the foundation of materials science and work to improve the design , fabrication, and optimal selection of engineering materials and create new materials.

Mechanical engineers apply principles of mechanics, dynamics and energy transfer to the design, analysis, testing and manufacture of consumer and industrial products. They create machines used in manufacturing, mechanical components of electronics, engines and power-generated equipment, vehicles and their components, artificial components for the human body, and many other products.

Math education majors are students who are seeking to become math teachers in grades 7-12.
