Students From Other Programs in the College of Engineering
Students requesting transfer admission (change of curriculum) from another department in the College will be evaluated only when they have:
1) completed at least one semester of course work at TAMU
2) completed a minimum of 10 SCH of CBK1) courses that include ENGR 111, MATH 151 and PHYS 218 or equivalents with a grade not less than “C”
3) earned a CBK GPR of 2.00 or better
4) earned a cumulative GPR of 2.00 or better
5) no history of repeating, dropping or withdrawing from courses,
6) not made a grade less than “C” in any course in the previous semester
Only the “best” grade is used in computing the CBK GPR. However, in the case of “marginal” students, CBK courses taken at TAMU are viewed more favorably than those taken elsewhere. Students who have repeated a CBK course or courses, regardless of the reason, are not viewed as favorably as those who pass the course(s) on the first attempt.
Applicants should also respond to the following questions in writing - be specific.
* Why do you want to change to Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology, rather than another engineering discipline (aerospace, electrical, etc)?
* Which one of the two major program areas are you most interested in?
* What are your professional career plans after graduation?
* What strengths do you feel you would bring to the Department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution?
Notes:
