Answer 1: An associate of science degree is a two-year, 60-semester-credit-hour, lower-division academic degree...
...a degree which is equal to the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of a four-year, 120-semester-credit-hour, lower- and upper-division bachelors degree. In other words, if you have a finished associated of science (AS) degree, then you would be able to transfer it in a bachelor of science (BS) degree, and begin said BS in the junior year, and complete the junior and senior years and end-up with not only the bachlors degree that you could put on your resume, but the earlier associates degree, too!
An engineering degree is a bachelors degree... usually a bachelor of science degree. And a BS in engineering degree has a freshman and sophomore year, just like any other BS (or bachelor of arts (BA)) degree. Since the associates can function as the freshmand and sophomore years of a BS in engineering, then the answer, categorically, is "yes," of course an associate of science degree can help you get an engineering degree! An associate of science degree can, in fact, become the entire first half of a bachelor of science engineering degree!
Just remember, though, that a BS in engineering contains a ton of math and science courses. If you're going to be properly prepared for that (and also if you want your associates to count as the full first two years of the bachelors, so that you don't have to do a little catching-up before you may enter said bachelors as a full junior), then your associates also has to contain a ton of math and science courses.
But they need to be the right math and science courses. Not just any will do!
So first figure out which bachelor of science in engineering degree you'd like to get; and then go to that school's website and download its "catalog" as a PDF file (or, if not available, then call the school and ask for a printed copy of the catalog to be sent to you in the US Mail). If you're considering several schools for the bachelors, then do the same for each school.
In the catalog(s), you'll find the precise math, science, and all other kinds of courses that each BS in engineering degree will require. Notice the "lower division" (freshman and sophomore year) courses that each of those BS in engineering degrees require. As you're crafting your associates degree, simply make sure that you include all of those kinds of courses that the engineering Bachelors Degrees like to see their graduates take during the freshman and sophomore -- lower division -- years. That way, your associates degree will already meet or exceed the BS in engineering degree's lower-division requirements when you apply for said BS in engineering program.
An associate of science (AS) degree already contains more math and science courses than an associate of arts (AA) degree. And the amount that your associates degree contains may already be enough to satisfy the engineering bachelors degree program. But don't take a chance that it won't. Definitely figure out what math and science (and other kinds of) courses the engineering bachelors program of your choice requires of its freshmen and sophomores, and then simply make sure that your associates includes them.

Airplanes and aircraft degree what do you need?
Aeronauticla engineering, material science, mathematics, Electrical Engineering and General Engineering would all be good. However, general management studies/MBA and marketing etc, will help you get into the management of airlines etc.
How are science and engineering related to one another?
Science is the broad term for the things we know on our planet, and engineering is a subset of science. Specifically engineering is the things we invented to help us accomplish our goals as humans.

What are the jobs you can get with an associate degree?
This is a vague question but I will help as best as I can. With an associates degree you open your possibilities to so many options but specifying your associates degree is what counts. You can get an associates in practical science or an associates in business, arts, science*. All these have different pathways and the more and more you specify what you want, the better outlook you will have on career choices.
What's the use of an engineering diploma?
The engineering diploma certifies that you have a degree in engineering in a certain area. It will help you to make more money and help you to get a better job.

Yes, A degree in science education will help you become a science teacher. However, a degree in science education will not provide much assistance in teaching any other subjects.
What degree should you pursue to be a mechanical engineer?
Mechanical engineering, engineering and maths would all help
What degree help you be an expert in generators?
Either electrical or mechanical engineering.
Does knowing and enjoying mathematics help you understand engineering science?
Yes it does.
What can you do with an AS degree in electrical engineering?
An associates degree in engineering might help you get a job as an electrician. However, in order to get a job as an engineer, you must graduate from an ABET accredited institution with a Bachelor's degree or higher.
Will obtaining an associate's degree help you after 8 years of management experience?
