Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S)
This degree is for students who intend to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering at a four-year college or university. Students pursuing this degree should complete the remaining required semester hours according to the requirements of the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer. Because completion of the Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S.) curriculum does not fulfill the requirements of the Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum (IAI GECC), students will need to complete the general education requirements of the institution to which they transfer.
Degree Requirements
Students must meet the general education requirements listed below for the Association in Engineering Science (A.E.S.) degree. To meet the IAI GECC requirements, the student should take an additional course in communications, life science, and social/behavioral science.
