Computer Engineering - A.S.E. Degree (Transfer)
Application Code 256
For curriculum information, contact the Science, Engineering, and Technology Division—Room ST-248—443-518-1600.
This program is designed for students preparing to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering. Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Computer engineers have training in electronic engineering, software design, and hardware-software integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering. Students interested in this curriculum, however, are advised to check the requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer
General Education Core
Students enrolled in transfer patterns must take a minimum of 30 credits in General Education. Each student’s total of general education and required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.
Composition
Humanities, Arts and Literature
One Core Course must be taken in two of the following Core areas: Humanities Core, Arts Core and Literature Core, OR a World Language Sequence (8 credits) satisfies the Literature, Arts and Humanities Core requirement.
Social Sciences
One History Core Course is required and may be taken as either a Social and Behavioral Sciences Core or a Humanities Core. No more than 6 credits may be taken in History to meet Humanities Core and Social and Behavioral Sciences Core requirements.
