How to Enroll in EET program and its Biomedical Engineering Technology option:

electronic engineering student

Step 1) Apply to PCC

See the PCC Admissions website for more information.

Step 2) College Placement Testing

Take the college placement test (see catalog and Biomedical Engineering Technology advising guide for required placement test scores) or submit official transcripts.

If you are new at PCC, check with Advising if you think you can be waived of a placement test.

Step 3) Meet with an EET advisor

Meet with an EET advisor for an interview by email, over the phone or in person.

By Email
Email your information to Maniza Johnson or Sanda Williams and they will fill out the application for you.
Over the phone
Call Maniza Johnson or Sanda Williams to schedule a telephone meeting.
In person

It is highly recommended you call/email Dr. Maniza Johnson to schedule an appointment. We are located on Sylvania Campus, 12000 SW 49th Ave. Portland, OR 97219, ST building, Engineering Department, room 208. (campus map and directions).

Please take note that you need to purchase a PCC parking permit. The info that you are looking for may be under “Monthly and One-Day Permits”. PCC also has free inter-campus shuttles.

Step 4) File an application to enter the EET program or the Biomedical Engineering Technology option

File an engineering application packet to enter the program before you receive permission to register for classes.

If you cannot download the application, call/email Shaun Majors or Kathleen Harriman to have it mailed to you.

After you sign it, return the application file to an EET advisor to have it signed. You can do this in person or by fax (503-977-4859). If commuting is a problem and a fax is not available, you can simply email all the information necessary on the application to the EET advisor who interviewed you and she/he will complete the application for you. The next time you are on campus, you can sign it.

The application signed by you and by the EET advisor needs to be given to the engineering department secretaries Shaun Majors or Kathleen Harriman if you are on the campus. If you emailed it to an EET advisor, she/he will give it to our secretaries to be filed.

At this time, if you plan to register in person, the EET advisor can also sign the “purple sheet” to override prerequisites, class limit, or placement test (if applicable).

Step 5) Register for classes

  • You can register online.
  • You can register in person.

    • You need to have the signature of the faculty advisor for overriding prerequisites, class limit, or placement test (if applicable) – this is “the purple sheet”.

      If two classes overlap at a certain degree you will need to talk to the instructors of both classes to see if they agree with your plan. Both instructors will have to sign an “overlapping file” (can be found with the registration or with our engineering department secretaries).  Take this file to the registration.
