This program is designed for students transferring to a four-year university to complete their BS degree in Civil Engineering. It allows students to complete the first two years of the BS degree at the community college. Students explore calculus, physics, and engineering applications. Civil engineers design, build, and maintain the foundation for our modern society – our buildings, roads and bridges, drinking water and energy systems, seaports and airports, and the infrastructure for a cleaner environment, to name just a few. Civil engineering is an exciting profession because at the end of the day you can see the results of your work, whether this is a completed bridge, a high-rise building, a subway station, or a hydroelectric dam. This program introduces students to calculus, physics, and engineering applications and it includes courses that are designed to transfer to Colorado State University-Pueblo and University of Colorado-Boulder in order to continue studies in civil engineering. This is a designed career pathway in civil engineering. The Associate of Engineering Science (AES) degree prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in civil engineering at a four-year university, specifically Colorado State University and University of Colorado. Not all credits are guaranteed to transfer for Bachelor's degree requirements at all universities or for all engineering fields. You must complete a minimum of 64 credits to complete this degree. If receiving financial aid, you should only take courses and credits as required for this degree. Additional prerequisite courses may be required depending on your transfer institution. Please consult with your academic advisor.
