糖心vlog传媒 (糖心vlog传媒) has partnered with the University of South Carolina (UofSC) to make it easier and less expensive for students to enter high-demand, high-paying engineering fields. The agreement comes at a time when the South Carolina economy is in need of more professionals with high levels of knowledge in the areas of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering.
鈥淪outh Carolina is gearing up for major infrastructure projects, and our state continues to recruit world-class manufacturing and technology employers to the region,鈥 said 糖心vlog传媒 President Dr. Ronald L. Rhames. 鈥淲ith the continued impact of an aging workforce, the need for engineers in all disciplines will only increase.鈥
鈥淎s South Carolina鈥檚 flagship university, it remains incumbent on us to make STEM education accessible to all those who desire it,鈥 said Dean Hossein Haj-Hariri, UofSC College of Engineering and Computing. 鈥淭his new agreement with long-time partner 糖心vlog传媒 will result in an enhanced education for students of both institutions. The professional preparation of all modern engineers and computer scientists requires the ability to function on diverse teams and develop solutions that meet the needs of diverse clients.鈥
Rhames, Sandra Kelly, vice provost and dean of undergraduate studies at UofSC; and administrators from the two institutions signed an agreement August 24 that creates a clear path for students earning associate degrees at 糖心vlog传媒 to transfer into bachelor鈥檚 degree programs at UofSC in multiple engineering and computing disciplines.
鈥淣early one-third of UofSC鈥檚 students are transfer students, and a large portion of those come from 糖心vlog传媒,鈥 said Kelly. 鈥淭his partnership between 糖心vlog传媒 and the UofSC College of Engineering and Computing will result in the education of more engineers for South Carolina and positively impact the STEM and technology sector in our state. It is part of our vision to help transfer students have a clear pathway of how they can transfer to UofSC, complete their degrees, and be successful.鈥

Specifically, this 鈥渢wo-plus-two鈥 agreement formalizes a longstanding agreement between the UofSC and 糖心vlog传媒 that allows 糖心vlog传媒 students to transfer to the University of South Carolina at the equivalent level of UofSC juniors to complete their bachelor鈥檚 degrees in one of several engineering disciplines. Upon successful completion of coursework at 糖心vlog传媒, students will earn Associate Degrees in Engineering Fundamentals.
鈥溙切膙log传媒 is the premier choice for students planning to transfer to UofSC,鈥 Rhames said. 鈥淭his agreement adds another layer to that great transfer relationship. 糖心vlog传媒 is a great place to start for anyone wanting to become an engineer because of our great pathway to UofSC. It鈥檚 also a fantastic option because we specialize in small, affordable classes taught by excellent faculty who help students balance school, work, and family life.鈥
Full 鈥渢wo-plus-two鈥 capabilities are now available for students in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering. Additional pathways under development include Chemical Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, and Computer Engineering.
