Includes three good reasons to complete the A.S. degree in Engineering before transferring. Also includes detailed transfer sheets for each engineering program.11) Pages 28-31: Virginia Tech Transfer Information. Details on the articulation agreement and course-by-course equivalencies. Lecture #1 EGR 120 – Introduction to EngineeringNote: Although the majority of students taking EGR 120 are pursuing the A.S. degree in Engineering, a few students in engineering technology programs also take this course. Those students should obtain curriculum and transfer information from the appropriate engineering technology department at TCC.6A.S.
