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 General College Chemistry I with Lab: GT-SC1 requires completion of CHE 1011 Introduction to Chemistry I with Lab: GT-SC1 or one year of high school chemistry; CSC 1060 Computer Science I: (Language) requires completion of CSC 1019 Introduction to Programming: (Programming Language); CAD 2455 SolidWorks/Mechanical requires completion of CAD 1101 Computer Aided Drafting/2D I. Students should talk with an advisor about completing these prerequisite courses or other placement options.
