Environmental, Health & Safety Engineers Transfer Program
DownloadThe Environmental Science Program course of study at Illinois Central College is designed for students planning to transfer to a senior college or university for completion of a baccalaureate degree. During the two years at Illinois Central College, the student concentrates on building a strong foundation in the sciences and mathematics, and meets the requirements for the Associate in Arts and Science degree. The Environmental Science program is designed to prepare the student for a wide range of career opportunities. In addition to the positions traditionally available in laboratories that engage in environmental testing, professional careers exist within governmental agencies, including: (1) state and national departments of the EPA; (2) local and state planning departments; (3) state geological and natural history surveys; (4) the National Park Service; (5) soil and water conservation districts; (6) local and state health departments; (7) U.S. Geological Survey; and (8) OSHA. Further, various privately funded organizations maintain a staff of professionally trained environmental scientists.

Industrial Engineering Transfer Program
DownloadThe Associate in Engineering Science program prepares students for entry into a baccalaureate level engineering program at the junior level. The suggested sequence of courses includes a minimum of 64 semester hours of mathematics, chemistry, physics, selected engineering sciences, and many general education requirements common to most engineering B.S. degree programs. (See specific graduation requirements for the Associate in Engineering Science Degree.) This sequence is articulated with Bradley University, University of Missouri at Rolla, University of Illinois at Urbana or Chicago, and fulfills most other university requirements. Students planning to attend Northern Illinois University or Southern Illinois University should meet with an advisor as early as possible.
Industrial engineers (IE) deal with systems. They design, implement, or improve integrated systems comprised of people, machines, materials, information, and other resources. IEs find creative solutions to business problems. IEs make things happen more efficiently.
Whereas most other engineering disciplines apply skills to very specific areas, industrial engineering is applied in virtually every industry, from shortening lines at a theme park and streamlining an operating room to distributing products worldwide, and manufacturing cheaper and more reliable automobiles. -
