WINTERVILLE—Pitt Community College and East Carolina University have signed an agreement that creates a pathway for the college’s pre-engineering transfer students to move on to the university and complete a four-year engineering degree.

The articulation was signed Thursday at PCC, during a special ceremony attended by administrators and faculty who played key roles in creating the pact.

Through the agreement, PCC students who complete the Pre-Engineering Associate in Science degree — or accrue enough hours in the curriculum — can transfer into ECU’s Department of Engineering for the continuation and completion of their engineering studies. Graduates from ECU’s program will be awarded a Bachelor of Science in one of the following concentrations: Industrial and Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
