HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — KTECH is proud to announce an agreement with the University of Alabama in Huntsville that will allow KTECH graduates to transition easily into UAH’s Engineering Technology program.
The Memorandum of Understanding between KTECH and the University of Alabama Board of Trustees on behalf of UAH will allow KTECH graduates 15 credit hours in UAH’s B.S. in Engineering Technology.
“KTECH's primary focus is training people and setting them up for a new career,” said KTECH President and CEO Lee Marshall. “We put people to work, but we also have students who want to continue their education. This agreement will give our students a head start on their way to getting a college degree that will set them up for even more success in their lives.”
KTECH courses in Electrical Components, Mechanical Components and Electrical Drives, Electro-Pneumatic and Hydraulic Control Circuits, and Digital Fundamentals and Programmable Logic Controllers will all transfer to UAH course credits. Certifications in IPC-J-STD soldering, Yaskawa Industrial Robotic Basic Programming with Material Handling, and Siemens Certification for Solid Edge will also count as general elective credit hours.
“By creating a seamless transfer route from KTECH to UAH's Engineering Technology Program, we recognize the valuable skills, technical expertise, and real-world experience these students bring with them,” said Dr. Alisa Henrie, Director of UAH’s Engineering Technology program. “They have demonstrated their capabilities by obtaining nationally recognized certifications and demonstrating critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This agreement builds bridges, allowing students to transform their practical knowledge into advanced academic credentials, and ultimately, into promising career trajectories. We are proud to support a model of education that values every learner's unique journey and provides meaningful opportunities for our community's talented, often underserved populations."
KTECH also has MOUs in place with Calhoun Community College, the University of North Alabama, Wallace State Community College, and Motlow State Community College.
