Program Description
This program is designed for students transferring to a four-year university to complete their BS degree in Electrical 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. Electrical Engineering applies mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of electrical and electronic systems and their components, including electrical power generation systems; and the analysis of problems such as superconductor, wave propagation, energy storage and retrieval, and reception and amplification. This program introduces students to calculus, physics, and engineering applications and it includes courses that are designed to transfer to Colorado State University in order to continue studies in Electrical Engineering. This is a designed career pathway in Electrical Engineering. The Associate of Engineering Science (AES) degree prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering at a four-year university, specifically Colorado State University.
The AES in Electrical Engineering requires you to enter prepared to take Calculus I (MAT 2410) and General College Chemistry I (CHE 1111). See an advisor to discuss testing out options, review transfer university requirements, and to develop an academic plan that works for you.

My Academic Plan: CSU Full-Time
Courses are displayed in a full-time sequence showing the fastest path to your degree. Follow the pathway below to complete your AES degree in 4 semesters (2 years). For more information please see your Academic Advisor.
There are multiple ways to pursue a degree in Engineering. It is very important to work with your Academic Advisor to develop the best academic plan for where you are starting and where you are hoping to transfer.
For students who want to complete a degree in Electrical Engineering to transfer to Colorado State University Fort Collins and are college chemistry and calculus ready, the AES in Electrical Engineering is the most direct path to a Bachelor’s degree in this field. It is recommended that you meet with your advisor before selecting a pathway in Engineering.
