Engineering, AES - Academic Plan

|
 Return to: Academic Programs
This program introduces students to calculus, physics, and engineering and it includes courses that are designed to transfer to the Colorado School of Mines in order to continue studies in 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. Engineering is the application of science and math to solve problems and protect and improve lives. Engineers figure out how things work and find practical uses for scientific discoveries. Most of the things that make our lives safer, more enjoyable, and more productive are products of engineering. Career paths in engineering include chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, geological, geophysical, mechanical, mining, petroleum, and quantum engineering. The Associate of Engineering Science (AES) degree prepares students to complete the remaining portion of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Engineering at a four-year university, specifically Colorado School of Mines.
The Associate of Engineering Science degree requires students to enter prepared to take Calculus I (MAT 2410 ) and General College Chemistry I (CHE 1111 ). Any needed prerequisites to be ready for these courses will not count for this degree. For some students, a general AS degree is a better fit. It allows you to apply college-level courses in College Algebra, Pre-calculus, and Physics. See a Pathways Advisor to discuss testing out options, review transfer university requirements, and to develop an academic plan that works for you.
For more information about this transfer degree please refer to the Colorado Department of Higher Education website (https://highered.colorado.gov/educators/policy-funding/general-education-ge-council/gtpathways/transfer-agreements).

Notes:
*Please be advised: If you do choose one of these courses, it will put you over 60 credits. The courses will transfer, but the extra credits may not. That is, the receiving institution may still require the completion of 60 credits for the major.
1 If possible, students transferring to Mines should take the Calculus II and III sequence at the same institution.
2 If possible, Mines would prefer students to take MAT 2431 and MAT 2561 .
3 CSC 1019 must be completed with either CNG 1024 or CIS 2043 to transfer to Mines equivalent to CSC 1101 and be accepted as an elective for this degree.
Elective credit should be selected based on program(s) of interest at Colorado School of Mines. Students should contact a Mines advisor and refer to the Catalog information at https://catalog.mines.edu to obtain information regarding course transfer. Students can also visit https://catalog.mines.edu/undergraduate/undergraduateinformation/distributedcore/ to learn more about core requirements at Mines.
