Triton College to PNW Transfer Guide: Mechatronics Engineering Technology
This is a transfer guide for Triton College students planning on transferring to the Mechatronics Engineering Technology program at PNW.
Triton College to PNW Articulation Agreement
A.D. in Engineering Technology to B.S. in Mechatronics Engineering Technology
This articulation agreement provides a smooth curriculum transition with minimal loss of credit and duplication of coursework to facilitate the completion of the A.D. in Engineering Technology at Triton College and the Mechatronics Engineering program at PNW.
To use this agreement, students must apply and be admitted to PNW and to the Mechatronics Engineering program. Triton College students will receive equal consideration with other students seeking admission and financial aid. Triton College students are eligible for admission with junior standing once they:
- have completed the associate degree in Engineering Technology.
- been admitted to PNW.
- have earned a course grade of “C” or better on every course accepted for transfer; and
- have achieved a 2.2 or greater cumulative GPA based on a 4-point scale.
