The Associate in Engineering (AE) degree is a planned program of study consisting of 60 semester hours of credit (SHC). The degree plan includes required general education and prerequisite courses that are acceptable to all state funded Bachelor of Engineering programs. 

Students who follow the degree plan will meet the entrance requirements at all of the North Carolina public Bachelor of Science Engineering programs. Admission to Engineering programs is highly competitive and admission is not guaranteed. 

To be eligible for the transfer of credits under the AE to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Articulation Agreement, students must obtain a grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. Students must meet the receiving university’s foreign language and/or health and physical education requirements prior to or after transfer to the senior institution.
