Planner for Electrical Engineering (A.S.E.)


Official Title of Major: Electrical Engineering, A.S.E.

Award: Associate of Science in Engineering degree, A.S.E.

Code: ASE.EGR.ELEC

Total Credit Hours: 65

Purpose: The ASE in Electrical Engineering degree was developed to facilitate the transfer of students from two-year to four-year electrical engineering programs, and is not considered as a terminal degree in engineering. This program is designed to transfer as a degree, rather than on a course-by-course basis, into parallel four-year electrical engineering programs in Maryland. Although this does not guarantee admission into a four-year engineering program, most Maryland universities have expressed support for the ASE. To receive the block transfer benefit of this degree, all of the ASE degree requirements must be completed.

The first two years include foundation courses such as math, physics and chemistry, as well as introductory engineering courses. There are no technical electives within this program. All program requirements are mandatory.

Additional Degree Requirements

To complete the program in two years it is necessary to take calculus (MAT 191 ) in the first term. Those not ready for calculus should take pre-calculus math (MAT 151 ), possibly in the summer before the first regular term.

Courses to improve skills and prepare for college-level classes may be needed. It is best to see an advisor as you plan your education.

Transferring Credits


Four-year institutions may accept up to 60 transfer credits or more. Please work with an Academic and Transfer advisor to determine the maximum number of credits you may transfer. Your advisor will assist you in understanding the four-year institution’s transfer credit policies, active articulation agreements, and the opportunity to transfer credits that are not an AACC degree requirement. For more information, contact your AACC Academic and Transfer advisor and visit the Transfer Partners webpage.
