Associate of Pre-Engineering - Mechanical Engineering

The Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree is offered to students who plan to transfer to a university and pursue a baccalaureate degree in any of the traditional fields of engineering. This degree requires an emphasis of course work in engineering, mathematics, and science; with fewer general education requirements than that required for the associate of science (AS) and the associate of arts (AA) degree. However, it is recommended that a student earn the AS as well as the APE while at Snow College. These additional general education credits can be acquired by transfer of college credit taken while in high school, by taking credits during Maymester and summer term, and by transferring credits back to Snow College from the university. The option of taking some general education classes at the upper division level in the university is consistent with recent Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) standards.
