Credit is awarded as follows:
PLTW course Introduction to Engineering Design may be used for Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualization (EMCH 111); PLTW course Principles of Engineering for Introduction to Engineering (ENCP 101);
and PLTW course Digital Electronics may be used for Introduction to Electrical Engineering (ELCT 101).
The University of South Carolina requires students applying for undergraduate college credit to meet the following requirements:
When secondary school students receive USC undergraduate college credit for PLTW courses, a transcript is developed for them. This transcript shows the USC equivalent course name and number. If a former PLTW student enters USC, the letter grade received for the high school course is counted towards the students GPA. If the student goes to another university, the three credits are considered ‘transfer’ with no letter grade.
