@JustGraduate That’s seems about right according to
http://www.enge.vt.edu/_files/undergraduate/com_requirements/COM_NonGE_Admitted_2016_After.pdf
However, I cannot find confirmation on the VCCS credit situation. I really can’t see VT restricting students from taking requirement courses at a VCCS. That would kind of be degrading the quality of the VCCS credit system. Those classes are just as hard as they would be at Tech. Also many VCCS students transferring into the COE are granted their requisite courses from VCCS so I do not see why they would not allow their students to take some courses at VCCS. Besides you will not be able to complete many course during the summer at VCCS anyway. For an example, this past summer I had to take an intro to engineering course (my schools did not offer) and Calc 2 course to catch up.
Regardless the 3.2 GPA requirement is doable for the requirement courses. If you are really serious about going into engineering, getting a B+ average on those courses should be easy. Here were my stats on the prerequisite classes.
CHEM 1035 A
CHEM 1045 A
ENGE 1215 A (VCCS)
ENGL 1105 A
MATH 1225 A
ENGE 1216 B+
ENGL 1106 A (VCCS)
MATH 1226 C (VCCS)
PHYS 2305 C (Lol and I’m a Physics double major)
Which equates to around a 3.5 roughly (My actual is 3.42 including upper level calc courses and physics)
IMHO I say go for it, and while trying to complete these requirements you will also be taking intro classes for Environmental. Who knows, you might actually stick with environmental and find that you like it a lot.
