AA/AS in Engineering, General

Harper College offers an Associate in Engineering Science degree for students planning to earn an engineering bachelor's degree elsewhere. The program is built around mathematics, science, engineering and communication courses that give students a solid base before they transfer. Engineers blend science, mathematics and design to solve problems and develop new ideas, and the college presents its campus as a high-quality, close-to-home place to begin. Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor to plan the courses that fit their intended transfer school. The college describes guaranteed admission arrangements with several engineering schools, among them the Grainger College of Engineering at Urbana-Champaign and the Milwaukee School of Engineering. Information sessions are held for prospective students who want to learn how the pathway works.
