ADMISSIONS

Standard Number: FORMTEXT YB03-02-01 (Admission Requirements)

Standard Statement

Statewide admission requirements are implemented for the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program.

Explanatory Comment

Admission refers to regular admission into a Degree program.

Statewide program admission requirements consider state and national occupational licensing and certifying requirements, where applicable. The institution develops and implements clearly stated Degree program admissions policies and procedures.

Admission requirements are related to the functions of the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree profession.

Evaluative Criteria

The institution develops, implements, and publishes clearly stated Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program admission and advanced placement policies and procedures.

The requirements for admission to the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program are

a. achievement of minimum regular admission scores on tests of reading, language, and math as specified in GDTAE document Minimum Program Entrance Scores;

b. documentation of high school graduation or satisfaction of High School Equivalency Certificate requirements; and

c. proper completion of application and related procedures.

Admission of transfer students to the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology program is contingent upon their meeting the following requirements:

a. regular admission and good standing at a regionally accredited degree granting institution; and

b. proper completion of application and related procedures.

Standard Number: FORMTEXT YB03-02-04 (Provisional Admission Requirements)

Standard Statement

Statewide provisional admission requirements are implemented for the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program.

Explanatory Comment

Provisional admission is granted to qualified students who do not meet the regular admission requirements of the program.

Provisionally admitted students are allowed to take developmental studies courses and/or certain occupational courses as designated in the course sequence standard.

The institution develops, implements, and publishes clearly stated policies and procedures for entry into programs on a provisional basis.

Evaluative Criteria

Provisional admission to the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program is afforded those students who do not meet program requirements but do meet provisional admission requirements.

The requirements for provisional admission to the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program are:

a. documentation of high school graduation or satisfaction of High School Equivalency Certificate requirements;

b. achievement of minimum provisional admission scores on tests of reading, Language, and Math as specified in GDTAE document Minimum Program Entrance Scores; or recommendation by program faculty and designated admissions personal on the basis of interview and assessment of student potential; and

c. completion of application and related procedures.

All Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program students initially admitted on a provisional basis meet regular admission requirements prior to graduation.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Standard Number: FORMTEXT YB03-03-02 (Program Numbering System)

Standard Statement

A Program Major Code of YB03 and a Program CIP Code of 15.0303 are applied to the Electronics and Computer Engineering, Degree program.
The Electronics and Computer Engineering, Degree Program Specializations and the assigned specialization major code and CIP codes are as follows:
Specialization Title	Specialization Major Code	Specialization CIP Code
Computer Engineering Technology Specialization	YE03	15.1201

Biomedical Engineering Technology Specialization	YB13	15.0401

Explanatory Comment

Assignment of a statewide Major Code FORMTEXT YB03 and CIP Code 15.0303 to the Degree program is the basis from which statewide programmatic consistency is developed.

Each degree/diploma/certificate program complies with the assigned Major Code(s) established in the relevant program-specific standards of the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.

Evaluative Criteria

Each authorized degree/diploma/certificate program is assigned a Major Code and CIP Code.

Each degree/diploma/certificate program having a given Major Code is consistent with all other programs throughout the state that have the same Major Code.

Degree/diploma/certificate programs having multiple specializations are assigned a specialization Major Code for each option.

Standard Number: FORMTEXT YB03-03-03 (Program Consistency and Sequence)

Standard Statement

The Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program utilizes essential course components consistent with statewide program requirements. Specific course alphanumeric identification Codes are assigned to each course. Students are required to progress through two course categories in a developmentally valid sequence.

Explanatory Comment

Programs are assigned an identical Major Code FORMTEXT YB03 and are consistent statewide. Each specific course is assigned an alphanumeric descriptor that serves as a statewide course identification code.

Evaluative Criteria

The Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree program is assigned a Major Code of FORMTEXT YB03, and utilizes essential components designated for that program number statewide. Program components include, but are not limited to:

Program Title

Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Degree

Program Description

The Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology program is a planned sequence of carefully developed college level courses designed to prepare students to work in the field of electronics and computer engineering technology.
