If interested in the Summer 2023 Bachelor's+ Program, please fill out the form and we will send out information when it is available.

Expectations

Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and Texas State Technical College (TSTC) have partnered together to develop the Engineering Bachelor’s+ Program.

The Bachelor's+ Program expectations document may be downloaded and reviewed here.

If a student withdraws/cancels/drops on or after the first day classes start, the student may receive 3 Q-Drops. Even though the program is offered as professional development through TEES, the students are enrolled as a student at TSTC, a state school. 

Program Concept:
Students to spend nine weeks in the summer obtaining applied skills in a variety of hands-on, course offerings from TSTC available across the state of Texas. Obtaining the hands-on skills, in turn, may help Texas A&M Engineering students to not only gain knowledge of a new skill, but also to gain a competitive advantage in today’s job market while finishing their undergraduate degree at Texas A&M.

Students are expected to complete three courses specific to student's chosen Bachelor's+ Program (9 semester hours) in nine weeks and pass all three courses.

Bachelor's+ Programs students may choose from:

  • Architectural/Mechanical Drafting (online option available)
  • Cybersecurity (online option available)
  • Basic Electromechanical Automation, PLC
  • Integrated Manufacturing Processes
  • Precision Machining
  • Process Operations
  • Welding-Multiple Processes

(Each program consists of three courses, nine semester hours.)

High Impact Qualification
The some of Bachelor’s+ Program qualify for ENGR[x] requirement each student must obtain to graduate. 

ENGR[x] is a zero-credit-hour required program, populated with approved engineering-centric activities that meet the criteria of high impact learning experiences. Having the some of the Bachelor’s+ Programs qualified for the ENGR[x] allows students to use the program to help meet a requirement for their degree.

Approved programs:

  • Architectural/Mechanical Drafting (online option available)
  • Cybersecurity (online option available)
  • Basic Electromechanical Automation, PLC
  • Welding-Multiple Processes

Students Obtain
Upon completing and gaining hand-on experience from the Bachelor’s+ Program, students receive:

  • TEES Professional Development Certificate of Completion
  • TSTC Course Transcripts
  • TSTC Occupational Skills Award Certificate (OSA)
    (The OSA at TSTC helps students learn skills quickly in order to start a career.)
