Engineering Specialty Courses


The IAI Engineering Advisory Committee recommends the following engineering specialty courses for students who are undecided about their baccalaureate transfer institution. Baccalaureate engineering programs vary from one institution to another, so it is important to identify potential transfer institutions early and to follow their catalogs carefully for required courses. Students should meet with an MCC academic advisor for guidance to avoid taking unnecessary or redundant courses.

Other AES Graduation Requirements:


  • Total of 60-68 credit hours
  • 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA at MCC on completion of degree
  • 15 semester hours taken at MCC
  • Completion of E-Portfolio end-of-program assessment
  • Completion of graduation application
  • E-portfolio must be completed and submitted the semester you graduate.  www.mchenry.edu/eportfolio

Degree Notes:


  • No single course can be used to meet two different requirements (excluding Non-Western and Minority Cultures).
  • Baccalaureate engineering programs vary. Consult the catalog of the intended transfer institution for required courses. To meet baccalaureate prerequisites, students can request a course substitution approval for an AES degree requirement. Please see an academic advisor for course selection.
  • It is recommended that course sequences be completed at MCC before transferring, since topics are covered in different orders by different schools.
  • Students should contact their transfer school as soon as possible for evaluation of their MCC credits.
  • Acceptance of a D grade and non-traditional credit (CLEP, AP, DANTES, military service, proficiency exam) varies from institution to institution.
