NMC was also ahead of others in the state in terms of a transfer pathway specifically for engineering.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michigan Tech is acknowledging the quality of our courses, the quality of our instruction, and the quality of our students with this agreement,&#8221; said <strong>Lindsey Dickinson<\/strong>, NMC director of advising, who nominated the trio for their 18 months of work. Students who complete NMC&#8217;s engineering certificate with a 2.75 GPA are guaranteed admission to MTU, entering as juniors to complete their bachelor of science. The agreements are expected to increase NMC&#8217;s enrollment pipeline to one of Michigan&#8217;s leading engineering schools, located in Houghton, Mich.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our engineering program here is in a growth period, which should only be aided by agreements like these,&#8221; Smith said.<\/p>\n<p>The first seven agreements became effective this fall. Another 12 are in the works, Dobek said. They plan to work with other schools, including Kettering University, Grand Valley State University and Western Michigan University, to establish more engineering options.<\/p>\n<p>Other community colleges are also seeking NMC&#8217;s advice on how to replicate the agreements, Dickinson said.<\/p>\n<p>NMC-MTU engineering articulation agreements date to 1990. The new agreements reflect how engineering programs have changed and how graduation requirements have become more specialized.
