General Engineering, AES

Recommended basic skills courses are

College Readiness in English
MAT 1340 and MAT 1440
CHE 1011

For students who want to complete a degree in engineering and are undecided about the engineering field or transfer university, but are college chemistry and calculus ready, the AES in General Engineering is the most direct path to a bachelor’s degree. The majority of coursework will transfer to most universities, but it is important to consult with your academic advisor when selecting electives in the third and fourth semesters. Not all credits are guaranteed to transfer for bachelor’s degree requirements at all universities or for all engineering fields. It is recommended that you meet with your advisor before selecting a pathway in engineering.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the General 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
