(WITN) - A community college and university are teaming up to create a transfer pathway for engineering students. Lenoir Community College and East Carolina University signed an agreement on Tuesday to help LCC engineering students continue their education at ECU, according to an LCC press release. At the ceremony, LCC President Rusy Hunt told two students they would receive a $5,000 scholarship to continue at ECU, and ECU added that it would give them an additional $5,000. “This partnership is about creating opportunities for our students while strengthening the workforce right here in eastern North Carolina,” Hunt said. “Students can begin their engineering education close to home, build a strong academic foundation, and continue toward a bachelor’s degree at ECU. At the same time, we’re connecting education with the needs of local industries and helping prepare the skilled professionals who will drive our region’s future.” ECU’s engineering program has small class sizes and focuses on project-based learning, according to LCC. The partnership could allow ECU engineering students to complete their senior capstone projects with Global TransPark employers. “By connecting students with a wider range of educational opportunities close to home, this partnership can help prepare the next generation of engineers to contribute to their communities and meet the needs of a changing region,” said Dr. Teresa Ryan, chair of ECU’s Department of Engineering. </div></body>
