The Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) major requires 95 credits, 12 of which also meet the Liberal Studies requirements (ENGR 199, MATH 153, CHEM 139, and PHYS 130).
A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.30 in all major courses is required to earn the Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) degree.
Continuing Student Requirements
To continue in the Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) major, students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.30 in courses required by the major. Students may be removed from the Engineering Technology (Applied Systems Technology) major and placed in Engineering Intended if they earn more than two of the following grades in the major in an academic year: U, W, and C- or lower. For more details, contact the School of Engineering + Technology.
Students cannot remain in the Engineering Intended major after completing more than 45 credit hours.
Admission
An application is required for all prospective students. The application and admissions process are available on the SET website: set.wcu.edu. Students who are not admitted to a program in the School of Engineering + Technology may be placed in Engineering-Intended.
The requirements for admission into the engineering technology major include placement into Precalculus II (MATH 146) or above. Students accepted to the university but not admitted into the engineering technology major may be placed in Engineering Intended.
