Important points
If a student enters the program requiring both ENG 0410 and ENG 0430, delay the CSC 1310, 1320 and 1330 modules until later in the program, possibly during summer school. CSC 1310-1330 are each 5-week courses that together represent a time commitment of 15 weeks (equivalent to a full-credit hour course) DCT 2220 has a corequisite of MAT 0600. MAT 1220 and MAT 1590 have a prerequisite of MAT 0600 or two years of high school algebra/ geometry or placement exam.
Students should discuss selection of mathematics courses with their advisor. Recommended mechanical technology elective is MCT 1380: Introduction to Solid Modeling. First time, full-time students are also required to take INT 1520: Student Success Seminar. Some courses have prerequisites. Students should check course descriptions to be sure course prerequisites have been met. Not all courses are offered on all campuses every semester. The master schedule for each semester lists current offerings. See the Course Descriptions section for frequency of offerings. Physical education is optional but may be required by some transfer colleges.
