Memorandum of Understanding and Articulation Agreement Pertaining to the Bachelors
of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering
The University of North Texas
College of Engineering
and
Mountain View College
of the Dallas County Community Colleges
The intent of this agreement between the University of North Texas (UNT) College of Engineering
and Mountain View (MVC), of the Dallas County Colleges (DCCC), is to increase the number and
quality of students matriculating from MVC into engineering disciplines at UNT. Concomitantly, this
agreement is designed to foster enhanced transfer process for MVC students pursuing a bachelor
degree in engineering.
This agreement recognizes the following terms and conditions:
1.
Representatives from UNT’s and MVC’s admission staff, academic advisors, and engineering
faculty will collaborate to select students for the program and will provide advising to students in the
program
2.
The UNT College of Engineering faculty and staff will provide support to engineering faculty at
MVC through sharing of course syllabi and other pertinent ABET related material.
3.
Students who successfully complete the Voluntary Statewide Transfer Compact Engineering
Degree Program with a Pre-Mechanical Engineering concentration will be able to transfer a block of 65
credit hours into the UNT Computer Engineering degree or 63 credit hours into the Electrical
Engineering degree. The transfer courses must meet the UNT College of Engineering core required GPA
and the minimum grade per course for transferring to the UNT College of Engineering curriculum. UNT
will accept all courses as outlined in the transfer guide.
4.
The UNT – MVC Equivalency Transfer Guide, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit A, will be reviewed and updated by MVC and UNT faculty and advisors on at least a
yearly basis. The Office of Transfer Services and University Relations at DCCC, Dean of Engineering at
MVC, and Dean of the College of Engineering at UNT will approve changes.
5.
MVC students participating in the program will have rights and privileges as described in the
UNT-DCCC Articulation Agreement (dated September 1, 2000).
6.
MVC students successfully completing the Associate in Sciences with an Emphasis in PreMechanical Engineering program according to the specified transfer guide and who maintain a minimum
cumulative GPA 2.5 in transferable hours will gain automatic admission into UNT’s College of
Engineering.
7.
MVC students that have not fulfilled the AAS degree in Pre-Mechanical Engineering can transfer
up to 17 lecture and laboratory courses in which they earn a grade of “C” or better toward the
bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
8.
MVC students that have not fulfilled the AAS degree in Pre-Mechanical Engineering must
complete Pre-Calculus with a B or higher to be admitted as a Mechanical Engineering Degree major at
University of North Texas.
9.
The progress of this program will be monitored by both UNT and MVC and may be revised by
mutual agreement at any time. Either party may terminate this agreement at any time when the said
party believes that termination is in the best interest of all parties concerned. Those students already
participating in the program at the time of termination will have their coursework honored.
10.
A copy of the Memorandum of Understanding and Articulation Agreement along with the UNTMVC Equivalency Transfer Guide will be kept in the office of Academic Affairs and Transfer Programs at
DCCC, Engineering Department at MVC, as well as the College of Engineering and the Office of Transfer
Articulation at UNT.
11.
Annually, UNT and MVC will share data related to the enrollment, scholastic progress, and
academic performance of former and active cooperative students in order to evaluate the success of
this program.
12.
UNT and MVC will collaborate on the design of marketing materials, which will be distributed to
current students, potential students, or the community at large to publicize this agreement.
13.
The faculty and administrators from UNT and MVC will meet annually to assess and develop
program offerings; to schedule student and faculty class visits; and to explore potential joint grant
funding.
