Mechanical Engineering: associate degree records.

Research this field and level

Official classification: Mechanical Engineering.

A program that prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of physical systems used in manufacturing and end-product systems used for specific uses, including machine tools, jigs and other manufacturing equipment; stationary power units and appliances; engines; self-propelled vehicles; housings and containers; hydraulic and electric systems for controlling movement; and the integration of computers and remote control with operating systems.

Check mathematics and science prerequisites, laboratory or design requirements and the programme campus. Mechanical engineering technology can be a different classification and qualification.

Confirm whether the institution’s actual degree meets your goal and whether a destination accepts its credits. An associate award does not prove a transfer agreement or coverage of another institution’s bachelor requirements.

Keep the reporting years separate

Each annual row is a separate observation, not a current entering class or unique-person count. The year ending 2025 covers July 2024–June 2025. Institutions can appear in several years.
