Test rules and how to send your score
The undergraduate page asks for official results from TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo or PTE. It gives a TOEFL code but no Pearson code, and it does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period.
On the same page, IELTS is 6.5 with no band below 6.0, so PTE 56 is the PTE route to that level. Graduate applicants need IELTS 7.0 with no band below 6.5, TOEFL or Duolingo 130.

If you fall short
Neither page describes conditional admission or a pathway programme with a PTE entry point. Graduate applicants are exempt if they earned a degree in the United States or hold citizenship of a country where English is the only official language.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your MSOE programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
