Certain programs require these courses as part of their curricula, and the course may also be taken as an elective beyond requirements of the General Education core. A Tech Prep Bridge was developed for the purpose of preparing students to enter and succeed in a Tech Prep associate of applied science degree in high technology programs such as Biomedical Engineering Technology, Computer Maintenance Technology, Electrical Mechanical Manufacturing Technology, Electronic Technology and instrumentation technology. The following is a sample Tech Prep Bridge curriculum. Based on TASP or local placement test scores, students are placed in appropriate mathematics, English and reading, developmental courses and corresponding Principles of Technology courses. Students that place out of development English will normally enroll in regular English or speech.
Students take approved electives based on a major field of study.
