Notes:

*Courses strongly encouraged for the first semester.

**Calculus I is the lowest math course that will be accepted by engineering programs. Students not calculus-ready will need additional math courses and should use summer to catch up. Additional courses may not be covered by financial aid (MAT-171, MAT-172, MAT-175) and exceed the total credit hours of the Associate in Engineering program.

~AE Electives should be carefully chosen based on BSE transfer school and program.

+AE approved lists of general education, languages, humanities/fine arts, social/behavioral sciences, mathematics, natural sciences, engineering, and transfer electives may be found in the Associate in Engineering Degree .
