University acceptedstudent profile.Historical Perspective:Based on institutional historical information, the number of Engineering Technology transfershave out-numbered the number of Engineering transfers from the Ujima Scholars Program intothe College of Engineering . This was/is due to how more closely aligned the EngineeringTechnology major had been to certain students’ math/science skills or academic background andtheir interest in receiving a more hands-on approach to learning the technical side ofEngineering. However, it should be noted that a few Engineering Tech students did initiallyexpress an interest in Engineering and were allowed to take Engineering Tech pre-calculus andchemistry courses to prepare them for the Engineering
