The site is meant to inform students, teachers, school counselors, and parents about engineering and what engineers do. Read more at http://bmsmail3.ieee.org:80/u/3882/02293371.

Articulations:
Earn College Credit in the High School Classroom

Articulation is a way for students to earn college credit while still in high school. This list contains the high school classes that can be taken and transferred to college credit when students are admitted to the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI. As you will see, many agreements are school specific. However, the Project Lead the Way courses are for all high schools.

Earn College Credit in High School

The Purdue School of Engineering and Technology is happy to announce more opportunities for students in Indiana and across the nation to apply high school classes toward their university plan of study at no cost. To receive college credit, students must apply and be admitted to the School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI. Students must meet with an academic advisor in the school and provide evidence of successful completion of the appropriate high school classes and/or certifications. The university classes will be added to the student's college transcript and applied toward the plan of study at no cost to the student. Based upon 2005-06 tuition rates, this will result in a savings of $562.50 for Indiana residents and $1,595.25 for out-of-state students (based upon a 3-credit hour course). Listed below are the high school courses and the engineering and technology courses that apply:

When high school courses are accepted for college credit it is referred to as “articulation.” These articulations were developed with the help of a grant from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. Look for more articulation agreements in the future.
