<p>Look at the degree requirements for your branch of engineering. There should be a page stating which courses are required. If there are courses that must be taken at UT, that will, in all likelihood, be stated as well. For example, even though my son has Rhetoric 301 (something like that) in dual credit, that will not be accepted in lieu of a Plan II Rhetoric class. However, it will be accepted for elective credit.
In your case, I would guess that the engineering dept. wouldn’t demand that you take a rhetoric class at UT. They are probably more concerned about certain math or science classes being taken on campus.<br>
Search for the interactive degree audit (IDA) on UT’s website. Click on transfer course, select your CC from the drop down menu, then select the course you plan to take at the CC. The IDA will then tell you what credit you will receive at UT for your CC class. I think all of the Texas CCs and their classes are on the drop down menu.</p>
