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.
Alumni
Reports
Our alumni
have successfully transferred to elite institutions including Berkley,
Purdue, Bradley, and Rose Hulman as well as all Universities of Illinois.
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.
