Curriculum Guidelines

TYESA member shools have agreed to adhere to the following curriculum guidelines for an Associates in Science Degree in Engineering Science. Guidelines were approved in Fall 2023.

Engineering Core Requirements

• Math - 4 (Calculus 1 and 2, Differential Equations, Calculus 3 or Linear Algebra or Statistics)*

• Physics - 2 (Calculus based Physics I & II with lab)

• Chemistry - 1 (Chemistry I with lab)

• English/Humanities/Social Sciences - 4**

• Computer Programming - 1 (Math software or programming)

• Introduction to Engineering - 1

*Calculus 3 is highly recommended for transferability between disciplines and institutions.

**In compliance with SUNY Gen Ed requirements
