Transfer Requirements

This A.S. guide represents a state-wide curriculum designed to transfer to any TBR or UT system school of engineering. Students who intend to transfer to a different institution should consult their advisor and the receiving institution for specific course selections.

Additional Information:

+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 pre-requisite to most courses at the junior level in TBR or UT electrical engineering programs.

Students are encouraged to take two additional courses, Circuits II and Digital Design, before transferring to a university.

Courses in engineering technology do not fulfill any of the requirements for the Area of Emphasis in Electrical Engineering.

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.
