Statewide Technology news

— Purdue and Ivy Tech Community College - North Central Region recently reached an agreement that will enable students attending the South Bend Ivy Tech campus to transfer credits into the electrical engineering technology program at the College of Technology at South Bend.

The three-year agreement allows Ivy Tech students enrolled in the associate of applied science in electronics and computer technology or the associate of science in electrical engineering technology programs to seamlessly transfer credits into Purdue's bachelor's degree program in electrical engineering technology.

Currently, five Ivy Tech South Bend courses and their four Purdue equivalents in electrical engineering technology are included in the articulation agreement. The agreement builds on a previous agreement from April 2007 that included two Purdue courses. The new agreement is retroactive to fall 2006 for these courses and retroactive to fall 2007 for the two Purdue courses added since the April 2007 agreement.

Additional courses will be added to the agreement as they are offered and reviewed within the next three years.
