New articulation agreements with UC provide pathways for Engineering Technologies students
On February 17, the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering and Applied Science hosted a team from Cincinnati State to finalize several articulation agreements that provide clear and efficient transfer pathways from five CState Engineering Technology programs into programs at UC.
Doug Bowling, Dean of the Engineering & Information Technologies Division, said work on this project has been in progress for more than a year, spearheaded by CState faculty member Larry Feist (Program Chair, Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology) and Assistant Dean Mandy Albrecht from UC Engineering.
“During the past year, our program chairs and their counterparts at UC have been working on aligning program requirements, establishing a Transfer Degree Map for each program, and discussing admission criteria and available scholarships,” Dean Bowling said.
With the new agreements (as well as agreements that were already in place), students who have completed an applicable Associate of Applied Science degree at Cincinnati State will bring from 46 to 72 degree-applicable transferable credit hours to UC, depending on the program.
Articulation agreements have been established for these Engineering Technologies programs:
- Chemical Technology
- Civil Engineering Technology – Construction Management
- Electrical Engineering Technology
- Environmental Engineering Technology
- Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design Major
More information about these and other articulation agreements that provide pathways to UC for Cincinnati State graduates is available from the Cincinnati State Transfer Center and at https://www.uc.edu/aas/creditevaluation/articagree.html.
The Articulation Agreement event provided opportunities for Cincinnati State representatives to network with UC personnel, tour UC lab facilities, and discuss how to promote the new agreements and how to mitigate any barriers that could affect students who are planning to transfer into UC Engineering programs.
The Cincinnati State team at the event included:
- Doug Bowling, Dean, and Kim McMillan, Associate Dean, Engineering & Information Technologies Division
- Program Chairs George Armstrong (Civil Engineering Technology), Ann Fallon (Chemical Technology), and Dr. Ralph Whaley (Electrical Engineering Technology)
- EIT Co-op Coordinator Jennifer Geiger
- EIT Pathway Advisor Mary DePaul
- Transfer Center Director Dr. Myshamil Walker
- Amy Waldbillig, VP of Workforce Development
- Debbie Poweleit, Director of Admissions
- Brittany King, Manager of Web & Social Media Marketing
