Additional Program Information

Entry into Engineering Transfer program requires completion of the general online application.

LWTech does not offer every course each quarter. It is the student's responsibility to consult the Class Schedule and work out an individual schedule with an advisor. Any developmental coursework you might be required to complete may increase the program length.

At LWTech, we welcome all students as an open enrollment college and we are committed to your inclusion at the college. This program of study leads to an industry or specific employers that may require a full or partial background check as well as a drug test before you start the job. Please know LWTech is committed to your inclusion at the college and you can talk with an advisor about alternative options that may be similar to this program.

Explore Paths in Engineering Transfer

We are proud of the many pathway options our students have to complete an Applied Bachelor’s degree, at LWTech, and at in-state universities and colleges. All degrees, whether DTA/MRP, AAS-T or AAS, can fulfill transfer requirements at multiple institutions thanks to the articulation (transfer) agreements between LWTech and the transfer college. An applied bachelor's degree can improve your chances in the job market and help you make more money.

To learn more about transferring to another college or university, please visit our Transferring from LWTech page.

In Washington state, there are numerous universities that offer engineering bachelor’s degree. LWTech Engineering Transfer students are encouraged to determine what their target bachelor’s degree program is to help plan their schedules accordingly with an LWTech advisor.

Students should contact their potential transfer institutions early in their program regarding:

  • The specific course choices in each area of the statewide agreement where options are listed (humanities, social sciences, electives)

  • Requirements for overall minimum college-level GPA, a higher GPA in a selected subset of courses, or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses such as math or English

  • Engineering major admission prerequisites

At LWTech the Engineering Transfer program started in 2016. Engineering students have transferred to institutions within the statewide transfer agreement. They also transferred to institutions outside of the agreement. LWTech Engineering Students worked with their transfer institutions/programs and their LWTech transfer advisor to determine the LWTech coursework required for admission into their transfer institutions and major programs. This includes an understanding of GPA requirements for admission. Below is a list of programs and institutions that LWTech Engineering graduates transferred into:

  • Montana State University - Electrical Engineering

  • Eastern Washington University - Mechanical Engineering

  • Seattle Pacific University - Mechanical Engineering

  • University of Washington (Bothell) - Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering

  • University of Washington (Seattle) - Aeronautical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering

  • Washington State University (Everett) - Mechanical Engineering
