<p>@SimpleLife - I agree that none of us really knows the quality of information on CC. We only use this board, along with several other sources, to help inform us of others experiences. </p>
<p>You are right, I did start this post with a question. We had hoped that someone else had crossed this bridge. Not just that they had read the rules, but maybe someone that had challenged the status quo. I fully understand that TAMU has run an Engineering program for many years, but I also know that they have tweaked their rules as they receive feedback. In fact, it was my son’s advisor who recommended that he request to enter the MEEN 221 course next semester. He was interested in moving ahead and she threw out this course as an option. She felt there was a chance based on his current status and grades. Obviously it didn’t work, but it was worth the shot and I still feel this may help others in the future.</p>
<p>I appreciate your feedback and there are no hard feelings here. My son is much like me. He likes to push the boundaries at times and change the norm when it doesn’t make since. As you can probably tell, he is one of those kids that really wants to change the world. </p>
<p>No matter the issues we post here, we all know that TAMU is one of the best universities for our kids. Academics was a big reason my son selected TAMU, but there were many other factors that closed the deal for him. He is very happy to be there and knows he made the right choice.</p>
<p>I wish you and your kids the best of luck at TAMU. Its sounds like they are doing very well and you should be proud. </p>
