Taylor. \u201cThis partnership represents a great opportunity for students in metro Detroit to fill the many high-paying engineering positions that are available now and will be in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal x_ContentPasted0\">The OCC credits can be used toward a UDM bachelor\u2019s degree in Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering. Normally, OCC students could transfer up to 63 credits towards an engineering degree at UDM. However, the articulation agreement enables students to transfer between 72 to 86 credits, depending on which engineering bachelor\u2019s degree they are pursuing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal x_ContentPasted0\">\u201cThe ability to seamlessly transfer credits earned in our pre-engineering associate degree program to such an outstanding institution like UDM to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree gives our students a cost-effective way to reach their academic and career goals,\u201d said Peter Provenzano, OCC Chancellor. \u201cThe agreement also helps minimize the loss of credit and the duplication of coursework when transferring, which helps our students save tuition costs and the added time it takes to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15297\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.udmercy.edu\/campusconnection\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2023\/10\/OCC-Engineering-agreement.jpg?resize=993%2C368&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"At left, two people sitting at a table shake hands and smile for a photo indoors.
