Evaluation report - path_seeker - 02-17-2022
Hello all, as an international student I sent my previous university transcripts to evaluation agency and the report came back as follows. I know most of these transfer as electives at best, but I have my bets on the highlighted courses. Hope they cover the science requirements. I request some inputs from you regarding this.
I completed all the required GEC courses from Sophia.org. Doing American Govt. on IC, and World religions on SDC(alternate to sociology on sophia). Left with 14 courses to do at UMPI.
Semester I and II :
English B 3.00
Engineering Physics C 3.00
Engineering Chemistry C 3.00
Engineering Drawing C 3.00
Computer Programming Laboratory A 2.25
Engineering Physics and Engineering Chemistry Laboratory A 2.25
English Language Communication Skills Laboratory A 2.25
Engineering Workshop and Information Technology Workshop A 2.25
Engineering Mechanics A 3.00
Semester III :
Environmental Studies A 3.00
Mechanics of Solids C 3.00
Thermodynamics C 3.00
Metallurgy and Material Science C 3.00
Electrical and Electronics Engineering Laboratory A 2.25
Metallurgy and Mechanics of Solids Laboratory A 2.25
Electrical and Electronics Engineering C 3.00
Semester IV :
Production Technology C 3.00
Production Technology Laboratory B 2.25

Which degree are you going after at UMPI? You have several lab courses, hopefully at least one of them (and it associated course) will work as the lab requirement for UMPI. Either way, you'll still need Human Biology from Sophia to cover the biology requirement.

I am going to BABA Project Management, and also I completed Human Biology from Sophia.org

You need a language course, did you do the ACTFL or a Language CLEP? Why are we wasting a month taking Study.com just for World Religions? Are you going to take the Biology w/lab during that subscription? If so, great! Otherwise it would be a waste of a month when that should be taken up with Sophia.org or another inexpensive provider.
RE: Evaluation report - rachel83az - 02-17-2022
You don't need biology w/ lab because that should be covered by Physics and/or Chemistry + Laboratory and Sophia's Human Biology.

Yes, I have scheduled my ACTFL test tomorrow. I completed CS 303 Database Management on SDC first, and this is my 2nd course. Biology with Lab is an additional third course in case if these courses do not fulfil the lab requirement.

UMPI requires the lab to be taken with the science course and it should be 4 credits. I don't see any science and lab courses taken together that are 4 credits so completing the bio with lab is a good idea. The engineering science classes don't have an individual lab the way you have them listed. It looks like 2 sciences shared a lab. The classes on the evaluation will come in as general electives for the most part. Calling a class English doesn't really mean much. Was it a class where you learned English as a language or like an American English composition or literature class? Where did you take your ethics class?

I took ethics on Sophia.org, and the English class is taught as a foreign/communication language but not the composition type class as taught in US univ.
As per, my conversation with UMPI admissions dept., having a English course in previous university will waive IELTS/TOEFL for foreign students. So, it's more like a proof rather than a transfer course.

Even if physics & chem doesn't count because of their combined lab, you also have electrical & electronics w/ lab. You might (or might not) have to argue, but you really ought to have the lab science requirement covered by at least one of your classes.
