Data gathered at The University of Tennessee (UT) show that most students who transfer into engineering programs from two-year pre-engineering programs have not had all of the required prerequisite classes to start their junior year. This causes the student's average graduation time to increase by two semesters. A partnership between UT and the University of Oklahoma are developing three common prerequisite engineering courses to be delivered over the Internet to Community College students to alleviate this unnecessary delay.
