Non-Traditional Credit

Cooperative Education and Intern Experience
Full time matriculated students who have completed a minimum of forty semester hours (minimum of twelve hours for transfer students) and have a minimum GPA of 2.5 are eligible to participate in the Co-Op and Internship Programs. Both full-time and part-time positions are available to Temple Students . Students can earn academic credits by taking one of several courses designed to maximize the learning gained in the work experience. If interested, stop by room 326, College of Engineering. You may register for 2-4 semester hours of Co-Op credit for a maximum of 3 semesters.

Credit for Life Work Experience (C.L.E.X.)

The College of Engineering may process C.L.E.X. credit for matriculated students whose work experience is similar to the content of a particular engineering or engineering technology course. The work experience must have been completed prior to admission to the University, and you must have already completed 30 credits within the College. C.L.E.X. forms are available in the Undergraduate Studies Office. A maximum of 12 non-traditional credits will be accepted by the College of Engineering . This includes Co-Op, C.L.E.X., Advanced Placement and C.L.E.P. credit. Placement Testing (Math and English)

Placement Testing (MATH AND ENGLISH)
The math and english placement tests are adminstered to entering freshmen and certain transfer students. The tests results are used to place students in the appropriate first level for Math and English courses. Scores on the English test indicate a placement in English 0701 (1001), 0711 (1011) (remedial), or English 0802 (1002), 0812 (1012) (College Composition). It is possible to test out of English 0802/1002 with a high placement test score

In the College of Engineering, Math courses are sequenced as follows:

Precalculus Math 1022 (C074*)
Calculus I Math 1041 (C085)
Calculus II Math 1042 (0086)
Calculus III Math 2043 (0127)
Differential Eqns. Math 3041 (251)

Placement Testing (Foreign Language)
Entering students may also take a foreign language placement test in a foreign language they have studied. The score of the test indicates the level of proficiency in the language. Based on this score, you will be able to register for whichever level of the language is appropriate for you, for example, intermediate or advanced. As of the Fall of 1996, there is no university-wide requirement to study a foreign language to fulfill the Foreign Language/International Studies option of the Core Curriculum. The foreign language placement test could serve as a useful tool to determine your level of proficiency.
