Description
This program focuses on maximizing transferability to Western Carolina University's BS in Engineering Technology-Technical Operations (ETO) pathway. Students planning to transfer to any other four-year Engineering Technology Program must contact the admissions office at the receiving institution to determine which courses should be completed prior to transfer.
This curriculum complies with the standard approved by the State Board of Community Colleges.
Students may be required to take developmental courses in Math and/or English as a result of high school GPA or pre-enrollment placement tests. Therefore, the student may need more than the minimum number of semester hours listed for graduation. Consult a program advisor for more information.
The appropriate level math class should be taken during the student’s first semester, and a math course should be taken each subsequent semester until all required math courses have been completed. ACA 122 and EGR 150 should be completed in the first semester.
Courses that require a minimum grade of "C": ACA, CHM, COM, DFT, EGR, HYD, ISC, MAT, MEC, and PHY,
This pathway does not meet the entrance requirements at any of the North Carolina public Bachelor of Science Engineering programs. Students wishing to pursue an Engineering Science transfer should seek an Associate in Engineering degree.
