Byron Brezina, Program Coordinator

The Associate of Science in Engineering (ASE) in Computer Engineering degree is designed as a transfer degree for those seeking to pursue a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering.  For students transferring into four-year engineering program in Maryland, this degree transfers as a block of courses rather than on a course-by-course basis. Upon completion of the ASE in Computer Engineering course of study, graduates will enter the four-year institution as a junior computer engineering major.

The maximum number of credits accepted in transfer from other institutions to this program is 51.

 

Career Opportunities:

Computer engineer after transfer and completion of a Bachelor of Science program in computer engineering.

Transfer Options:

A complete list of all transfer opportunities can be found on the Transfer Services page

Student Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:

  1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Required Courses and Recommended Sequence:


The following is a recommended sequence of courses for completing this program. College Prep and prerequisite course requirements, credit load, and/or course availability may affect a student’s individual progress. Course availability within the program sequences is specifically intended for full-time students who begin their course work with the fall semester. Students should always consult their online program evaluation or an academic advisor to better understand typical course availability and individual program planning.

Social/behavioral sciences (3 credits)


Acceptable:

Humanities (3 credits)


Acceptable:

Social/behavioral sciences (3 credits)


Completion of this course meets the Social/behavioral and Cultural and Global Awareness requirements.

Acceptable:

  • See Gen Ed  Listing and select any Social Behavioral Science course from within the Cultural and Global Awareness course list.

Transfer notes


University of Maryland Transfer Notes:

University of Maryland, A. James Clark School of Engineering has the following minimum transfer requirements (these are the same for UMCP students transferring into the engineering school):

1. Students must have at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA in all college-level work at all colleges attended (2.999 is not acceptable).

2. Students must have taken the following gateway courses:

a. CHE-1350 (Chemistry for Engineers) or CHE-1210/1210L (Chemistry II), with a minimum grade of C

b. MTH-1210 (Calculus II), with a minimum grade of B

c. PHY-1210 (Physics I), with a minimum grade of B

3. Grade and Retake Policy:  Only one gateway or performance review course may be repeated to earn the required grade and that course may only be repeated once. When more than one course can satisfy a gateway requirement, taking a second course from the list will count as a repeat. (Please note that a grade of “W” is considered an attempt and must be repeated).

Notes:


* Courses requiring a prerequisite or co-requisite   

Course Indicators: English Composition (E), Arts (A), Cultural and Global Awareness (C), Humanities (H), Biological/Physical Sciences (S), Social/Behavioral Sciences (B), Mathematics (M)
