Programs
Engineering Science - Computer Engineering, A.S.
The Associate of Science in Engineering Science - Computer Engineering specialization is intended primarily for students planning on transferring to 4-year institutions to complete a baccalaureate degree in computer engineering. Students wishing to transfer to other engineering schools may wish to speak about the transferability of this degree’s coursework with an HCC advisor or an advisor at the receiving university.
The online engineering degree is ideal for students who want to pursue an engineering degree while benefiting from the convenience of 100% online coursework. Students progress through the program as part of a cohort, taking required courses online with the same group of students each semester—fostering connection, collaboration, and academic support.
Program Requirements
- To be eligible for the ASES program, students must:
- Be at or beyond Calculus I (MATH 2413) level
- Have a SAT Math score of 620 or higher, or an ACT Math score of 27 or higher
- Maintain full time enrollment each semester (minimum of 12 credit hours)
- Complete all required courses online as part of the cohort model
Next Steps
Students interested in learning more about the ASES online engineering degree are encouraged to contact hcc.engineering@hccs.edu for additional information.
