Mechanical Engineering, AES

Recommended basic skills courses are

• College Reading & Writing Literacy
• MAT 1340  and MAT 1440  

The Associate of Engineering Science in Mechanical Engineering is the pathway for students interested in earning a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. To earn the AES in mechanical engineering, students must complete the following course requirements for a total of 64 semester credit hours. Because the requirements of various four-year receiving institutions vary significantly, it is highly recommended that students consult with an advisor and engineering faculty to ensure courses align with the specific requirements of the receiving institution.

Three courses in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum require prerequisite courses or knowledge: CHE 1111  requires completion of CHE 1011  or one year of high school chemistry; CSC 1060  requires completion of CSC 1019 ; CAD 2455  requires completion of CAD 1101 . Students should talk with an advisor about completing these prerequisite courses or other placement options.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the mechanical engineering degree program, students should be able to:

• Explain information presented in mathematical forms (e.g., equations, graphs, diagrams, tables, verbal descriptions)
• Convert information into and between various mathematical forms
• Interpret data using multiple mathematical forms
• Select appropriate methods or theoretical frameworks to solve problems
• Examine engineering scenarios and data to identify patterns, differences, similarities, limitations, or implications
• Develop a conclusion based on findings
• Apply appropriate engineering techniques, skills, models, and tools to analyze and solve problems
• Analyze the professional and ethical impacts of engineering solutions within economic, environmental, and social contexts
