Program
Information
The Coordinated Engineering Program provides basic training in the
foundational building blocks for engineering: physics and
mathematics.
Studies
are conducted in general areas and are a preparation for a number of
fields
of advanced specialized study.
This program is designed as a transfer
program,
and completion of the program provides flexibility to transfer to any
desired
university.
Internship
Program
Danville Area
Community College's Coordinated Engineering Program is currently in
partnership
with the City of Danville,
Aqua Illinois, Timeomatic, Fiberteq and
IDOT.
These partnerships provide students with the opportunity to work with
local
engineers to gain experience in their field of study.
Engineering can be summed up in two words: Problem Solving. But
the
type of problem to be solved can vary. For example,
engineering
disciplines
include mechanical, chemical, civil, architectural, areospace,
electronic,
computer, and much much more.
To further divide the career, within
engineering
there are basic classifications for jobs that are common across the
various
engineering disciplines. Research Engineers explore fundamental
principles
of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Mathematics.
Development Engineers
use
the knowledge acquired by researchers and apply it to a specific
product.
Testing engineers are
responsible for designing and implementing tests
to verify the integrity of a product. Designing engineers are
responsible
for
providing the detailed specifications of the product. Manufacturing
engineers develop the processes for turning new material into
a
finished
product. Other types of employment for engineers include maintenance,
technical
support, sales, consulting
and management.
