Mechanical Technology Instructor Ray Allen
Northeast State’s Mechanical Technology instructor Ray Allen covered course outcomes, course objectives, and the dual-credit testing process during the session.
Northeast State’s High School Programs has agreements with all high schools in the local service area that allow students to attempt an end-of-course challenge exam in introductory courses in various career and technical pathways. If students pass the exam, they can receive free college credit for the courses upon enrollment at the College. The ELEC 1110 course carries four credits.
“We hope that through collaborative efforts such as this, local high school students will have a better opportunity to earn early post-secondary credits that culminate into a meaningful and achievable career pathway at Northeast State,” said Vanessa Price, Perkins Innovation and Modernization project director and coordinator of dual credit.
