Program Description
This program is designed for students transferring to a four-year university to complete their BS degree in Architectural Engineering. It allows students to complete the first two years of the BS degree at the community college. Architectural Engineering applies mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of materials, systems, and methods used to construct and equip buildings intended for human habitation or other purposes. This program introduces students to calculus, physics, and engineering applications and it includes courses that are designed to transfer to the University of Colorado Boulder in order to continue studies in Architectural Engineering. This is a designed career pathway in Architectural Engineering. The Associate of Engineering Science (AES) degree prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Architectural Engineering at a four-year university, specifically the University of Colorado Boulder.
The AES in Architectural 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.
