Additional Information

*Students transferring to U of Memphis or UTM should take ECON 2100  Macroeconomics as one of the Behavioral/Social Science general education requirements.

**Students who are not prepared for calculus will also need some or all of the following courses based on placement testing: MATH 1100  or MATH 1130 , MATH 1710 , MATH 1720 .

***Students who are not prepared for CHEM 1110 will need some or all of the following based on placement test scores: MATH 1100 or MATH 1130 and/or MATH 1710 or CHEM 1000 .

****This course is not offered at Northeast State. Students who want to graduate with this emphasis will need to take the course at another institution and transfer it in. Alternatively, students may graduate with an emphasis in pre-engineering: general. However, students should be aware that this course is a pre-requisite to most courses at the junior level in TBR or UT electrical engineering programs.

*****Students who intend to transfer to UTK or TTU are required to take 4 hours of programming. As such, a three-credit hour computer programming course will not fulfill the programming requirements.

1. Courses in engineering technology do not fulfill any of the requirements for the Area of Emphasis in Electrical Engineering.
2. Although it is possible to complete the B.S. Degree in Electrical Engineering in four semesters after earning the associate’s degree, students typically need five or six semesters to complete requirements.
3. The Electrical Engineering TTP also fulfills the preparatory coursework for: (1) the BS in Mechatronics at MTSU; (2)Computer Engineering BS at UTK; (3) Computer Engineering BS at TTU; (4) Electrical Engineering BS at TTU with a concentration in Mechatronics, (5) Electrical Engineering BS at TTU with a concentration in Vehicle Engineering. (6) Engineering Physics BSE at APSU.

Transfer Requirements

Tennessee Transfer Path to UT/TBR four year universities in compliance with Complete College Tennessee Act of 2010.
