Welcome Back!
 
Hope you had a great summer!  We just wanted to make sure everyone is ready for the fall semester.  The generic Engineering curriculum is posted here: http://www.lonestar.edu/as-requirements.htm but you will want to research the specifics of the programs/university you are interested in transferring to.  Just email our engineering advisor to set up an appointment if you are unsure about what classes you need to take.
