ENGINEERING

A strong background in mathematics and the physical sciences will be required to complete an engineering curriculum at a university. Thus, the core math and science courses should be mastered by all students planning to pursue an engineering degree. Specific courses vary according to the engineering specialty. Students are encouraged to contact Student Development faculty and Engineering faculty at Harper College and the transfer institution to determine which courses are specifically required.

Upon successful completion, students will meet the requirements for the associate in engineering science degree. (1)

 
Required General Education Courses:
ECO 211 Microeconomics 3
ENG 101 Composition I 3
ENG 102 Composition II 3
Social and Behavioral Sciences (2) 0-3
Humanities and Fine Arts (2) 3-6
Required Core Courses:
CHM 121 General Chemistry I 5
CSC 208 (3) Problem Solving for Science and Engineering Using FORTRAN 4
MTH 200 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I 5
MTH 201 Calculus with Analytic Geometry II 5
MTH 202 Calculus with Analytic Geometry III 4
MTH 212 Differential Equations 3
PHY 201 General Physics I 4
PHY 202 General Physics II 4
The remaining 18 credit hours are to be chosen from the courses listed below. Because of the variety of engineering disciplines, these courses should be selected based on the transfer institution's requirements with the assistance of the Student Development faculty and approval of Engineering Chair.
Specialty Courses:
CHM 122 General Chemistry II 5
CHM 204 Organic Chemistry I 5
CHM 205 Organic Chemistry II 5
CSC 122 Computer Science II 4
EGR 100 Introduction to Engineering 1
EGR 120 Engineering Graphics I (CAD) 4
EGR 205 Analytical Mechanics (Statics & Dynamics) 5
EGR 212 Mechanics of Deformable Bodies 3
EGR 260 Introduction to Circuit Analysis 4
EGR 262 Electrical Circuits Laboratory 2
EGR 270 Introduction to Digital Systems 4
MTH 220 Discrete Mathematics 3
PHY 203 General Physics III 4


  1. Completion of the associate in engineering science degree does not fulfill the requirements of the Illinois General Education Core Curriculum. After transfer, AES students will need to complete the general education requirements of the institution to which they transfer.
  2. Students are encouraged to select at least one course in either the humanities and fine arts or social and behavioral sciences that emphasizes non-western cultures or minority cultures within the United States. A two-semester sequence in the same discipline from either the humanities/fine arts or the social/behavioral sciences is recommended.
  3. Computer engineering and computer science students should select CSC 121 instead.
