Transfer Notes:

• Students transferring from any Florida public institution with an AA degree or with the general education program (GEP) requirements of that institution met have thereby satisfied UCF GEP requirements.
• Students entering a UCF undergraduate program and having a previously earned baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution have thereby satisfied UCF GEP requirements. (See also the section on the GEP found elsewhere in this catalog.)
• Courses taken from Community Colleges do not substitute for Upper Division Courses.
• Courses transferred must be formally evaluated for equivalency credit. The student must provide all supporting information to the ENT Department for this evaluation.
• ENT Departmental Residency Requirements consist of at least 32 semester hours of regularly scheduled 3000- or 4000-level courses taken from the UCF ENT Department.
• PHY 2048/L and 2049/L substitute for PHY 2053C and PHY 2054C respectively.

Tentative Course Schedule for the Space Systems Concentration

The tentative course schedule listed below is a guide for those students who plan on completing their engineering technology degree requirements in four years. Many students choose to spread out these requirements over a longer period of time. All engineering technology students should meet with their faculty advisor to develop and maintain an appropriate plan of study.
