ENGINEERING

This recommended transfer program for engineering students meets the requirements for an associate in engineering science degree and the recommendations of the Illinois Articulation Initiative engineering major panel. Because of the wide variety of engineering school requirements, students should contact their transfer institution prior to choosing a program of study. Admission into baccalaureate engineering programs is competitive and will require a strong background in mathematics and the physical sciences;
completion of these courses alone does not guarantee admission.

  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. Other computer science courses may be substituted based on requirements of specialty and transfer institution.
  3. Students are encouraged to select at least one course in either the humanities/fine arts or social/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. Approved courses are listed with the requirements for the associate degrees.
  4. Note a minimum of 13 hours of engineering specialty courses is required in total. Specialty courses must be approved in consultation with engineering chair:
