Advisement Information

  • Recent high school graduates should be asked if they have participated in Project Lead the Way.  If so, high school transcripts should be forwarded to the Engineering faculty for possible exemption credit.

  • Students taking MAT 102 or higher may enroll in EET 111.

  • Students who need MAT, ENG or RDG 032 courses as prerequisites should not enroll in EET, EGR, or EGT courses.

  • To enroll in EGR 130, students must have completed MAT 102 or have placement scores indicating readiness for MAT 110.

  • The English sequence is either ENG 165 & ENG 101, or for students planning transfer, ENG 101 & 102. Advise for prerequisite math, reading, and English courses as indicated by placement scores.

  • EGT 151 is preferable over EGT 152 for EET students because they are probably going to use AutoCAD in the workplace instead of Inventor. 

  • When students enter this program with Project Lead the Way course credit in high school, they may receive the following credit:

    PLTW High School Course     =             PTC Course  
    Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) =  EGT 152
    Principles of Engineering (POE)      =           EGR 130
