The Engineering Pathway is a non-degree program for students who want to study engineering. This associate of science degree is offered by the University of North Georgia and takes one year to complete. It provides a solid foundation in physics, mathematics, and computer science.

The curriculum includes core courses in engineering, physics, and mathematics. Students also take elective courses in computer science, engineering graphics, and technical communication. The program helps students develop problem-solving skills and prepares them for transfer to upper-division institutions like the Georgia Institute of Technology or the University of Georgia.

Graduates of this program can pursue careers as engineering technicians, design engineers, or quality control engineers. They can also work as research and development engineers, mechanical engineers, or aerospace engineers in companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, or NASA.
