I am looking for some help with coming up with a plan to complete the Nuclear Energy Engineering Technology at TESU. Originally I was going to just go for the Nuclear Engineering Technology degree but noticed that the NEET was ABET accredited for a couple more classes. Anywho, attached is an Excel of my TESU evaluation. I know some of these will have to be taken with TESU, but I am hoping that some of these can be taken elsewhere (study, straight, saylor, etc.) quickly and cheaper then going through TESU.

I think you could get the ethics, civic engagement, and calculus I at Saylor.org for free (plus the proctor fees). It looks like you need the lab for chemistry (1 credit)? I think Straighterline let's you just order the lab credit, if that's what that is. I see the physics courses have the same problem, so that's weird. I think there's also a physics lab at Straighterline, but I'm not sure where to get the second lab credit (Physics lab 2). Calculus 2 is available at Straighterline, but I'm not sure if that transfers to TESU.
The technical classes like logic controllers, circuits, etc ... I think this has come up before and I don't know if anyone came up with an option outside of a community college course.
I'll mention that for Calculus I at Saylor, I was not able to follow it very well. I even bought the textbook off Amazon for $5 or so. I'm going to use the remaining days on my Study.com membership, but study calculus there, then take the Saylor.org course. If I don't pass, I might just buy an exam at Study.com at the last minute.
Thanks, I'll check out those courses over on Saylor. And yes, I do just need the labs for chem and physics.

Also, I'm guessing machinist mate since you didn't get any credit for electrical circuits?
See if they can waive the last credit under materials since you have 2 out of 3 credits there already.
You're right you can get the majority of the gen Eds completed quicker and cheaper via alternative methods.
No, I did my 6 and out as a ETN. I didn't see the electrical circuits in the TESU eval but I think the one I had from Excelsior had them listed as duplicate courses for the Elec Sys troubleshoot.
I'll bring up the ac/dc circuitry and materials portion when I talk with the counselor. Didn't even think of asking for things to be waived. "What's the worst that can happen, they say no? "
Another question, does anyone know if TESU accept any certs from comptia or ec-council?
