Here is the link for the VA Community colleges where Enge 1215 transfer courses are offered and CURRENTLY accepted by Tech. I believe this will be the last summer for this transfer equivalency table to be in effect and then after that Tech will be re-evaluating which, if any community college engineering courses will transfer to meet their freshman coursework.

Not many of these community colleges offer these courses during the summer so you have to check each individual website to see what they are offering for their upcoming semesters. My son did the first Enge course thru Southwestern CC online during the summer before he first entered Tech (it is the only online Enge course accepted by Tech). We enrolled him in the CC well in advance and were on the web site the minute the summer course sign-up became available to grab a slot as they are very limited and much in demand. Used to be that the entire course was online, but the year my son did it they revised it to where you had to go to the campus twice during the summer for the entire day to do labs/exams. We are from the Richmond area so it was a LONG drive requiring an overnight stay at a local Super 8 and a bit of a pain in the butt, but you do what you gotta do if you want something enough. There were plenty of students there that were in similar situations, one student was there from GA!
We freaked out during Tech course request time during orientation when he was told that US students couldn’t request the Chem class needed to stay on track, but found out later (only thru our own work and persistence) that a waitlist would be made available to students who wanted to take Chem but were blocked from initial request. Easily got into the class from the waitlist. So, son remained on freshman Enge track and had the community college transfer course so that after his fall semester he was able to transfer from US to GE and then no problems taking the GE spring courses. Keep in mind this was during the time when you could have a 2.0 and still transfer. I think he had a 2.8 after his fall semester, so it was worked for him. With the new 3.0 requirement it obviously would not have worked and a very stressful spring semester would have had to been undertaken to get the GPA at a 3.0 and get the spring Enge course from a waitlist situation to hopefully get into GE after the spring semester.
He is currently a sophomore ESM engineering student who is ‘on track’. He has taken differential equations course online thru a VCCS last summer and will take Operational Methods online thru Tech over the summer in order to avoid the 18 credit hour semesters which would be absolutely brutal and would send the average student ‘over the edge’, the geniuses can do it, normal kids, NO! He is also going to take a relatively easy elective online thru tech this summer also, to hopefully boost his GPA (currently 2.95).
