Degree Type: Engineering (BSE) Engineering Technology (ET) Industrial
Technology (IT)		 Vocational Technology (VT)
Program
Type:		 4yr: BSE
2yr: engr transfr*		 4 yr: BSET
2 yr: LDET transfr*		 4 yr: BSIT/tchrEd
2 yr: LDIT transfr*		 4 yr: TchrEd/none
1-2 yr: certificate
Defined Math level: LD: calc/DE
UD: calc/DE		 LD: college alg/trig
UD: Appd calc		 LD: intermediate alg
UD: college alg/trig		 LD: high school alg
Transfer- rability: Most or all lower- division math, science, and engineering- oriented coursework based upon calculus** may be articulatable to BSE programs. Most or all lower- division math, science, and LDET coursework based upon college algebra/trig* may be articulatable to BSET programs.
 Most or all lower- division industrial technology-oriented coursework based upon intermediate algebra may be articulatable to BSIT programs.

 Some LDVT courses may be articulatable to teacher voc-ed and/or BSIT programs. Most VT courses are skill-oriented in areas such as welding, machine shop, refrigeration repair, etc.
Limitations:
 None Little or no LDET coursework based upon college-algebra/trig will be articulatable to BSE programs. Little or no LDIT coursework based upon intermediate algebra will be articulatable to BSET programs. Little or no VT coursework will be articulatable to BSET programs.
* This may or may not include general education coursework leading to an associate degree.
** To be considered for articulation, the appropriate math prerequisite or corequisite course must be listed in each applicable course's catalog description.

LDET = lower-division engineering technology (or lower-division electronic technology, etc.)
LDIT = lower-division industrial technology
LDVT = lower-division vocational technology
BSE = bachelor degree in engineering
BSET = bachelor degree in engineering technology
BSIT = bachelor degree in industrial technology
TchrEd = teacher education (for vocational and/or industrial technology)
