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 CORECredits
Students enrolled in transfer patterns must take aminimum of 30 credits in General Education. Each student’stotal of general education and required courses must equalat least 60 semester hours of credit.
