Effective Date: 8/1/2015 - 7/31/2020
Completion of the following curriculum will satisfy the requirements for an Associate in Science degree at KCTCS and related baccalaureate ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT (AAS OR AS TO BS) degree at Western Kentucky University. This pathway
meets the general education, pre-major, and program requirements.
The suggested courses in this pathway leads to an Associate and Baccalaureate major. The course
recommendations for the first two years are required for the Baccalaureate degree, but also apply to the
associate degree. The completion of these courses will enable a student to move efficiently into the last
two years of the baccalaureate program.
It is important to discuss revisions to the plan, graduation requirements, entrance requirements, and other
important program requirements with your advisor. Students who complete the associate degree in this pathway are
guaranteed acceptance into the pathway as stated, unless otherwise noted on the pathway.

Pre-Transfer Notes
This agreement allows KCTCS graduates to transfer AS (and AAS) coursework from KCTCS into the Engineering Technology Management Bachelor of Science degree. Engineering Technology Management at Western Kentucky University is a 2+2 program designed specifically for students who currently hold a certificate or associates degree from a technical school, two-year college or four-year institution. The Engineering Technology Management program is a capstone program that provides a two-year management emphasis for those working toward a supervisory position in industry. Graduates of a AAS in a technology-related discipline may transfer a block of courses into WKU to meet the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology Management. For example, an AAS from KCTCS in Air Conditioning Technology, Automotive Technology, Collision Repair Technology, Computer Aided Drafting and Design, Computerized Manufacturing & Machining Technology, Diesel Technology, Electrical Technology, Engineering Technology, Industrial Maintenance Technology, Manufacturing Industrial Technology, Quality Management Systems, Welding Technology and other Technology orientated KCTCS programs as approved by the WKU Engineering Technology Management faculty.
The Technology Management program required courses include: AMS 271, 310, 342, 356, 371, 390, 394, 430, 490, and twelve hours of advisor-approved technical upper-division electives. In addition to course requirements, students must meet WKU graduation requirements.
