Recommended basic skills courses are

The Associate of Engineering Science in Aerospace Engineering is the pathway for students interested in earning a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering. This program introduces students to calculus, physics, and engineering applications and it includes courses that are designed to transfer to University of Colorado-Colorado Springs in order to continue studies in aerospace engineering. This is a designed career pathway in aerospace engineering. The Associate of Engineering Science (AES) degree prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in aerospace engineering at a four-year university, specifically University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Aerospace 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
