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
