<p>I'm looking at the Manufacturing Engineering graduate program at Bradley University in Peoria, IL (this is where I live, I could take classes part time and work full time). I have a four year technology degree from Purdue and have recently started my career as a design engineer (I detail and model parts for huge industrial equipment on CAD software based on specs handed to me from my project engineer). Since I have a tech degree and have only taken Calculus 1, I would first need to take Calc 2/3 and differential equations for my pre req into the program. I'm considering the degree because it would increase my chances of being promoted to project engineer -- or if I change jobs, it would allow me to apply for design positions with higher pay and more responsibility. </p>
<p>What are your thoughts on Bradley?
Is it worth the huge amount of debt I would have to incur to begin taking classes?
More specifically, does anyone have experience with their MFE Grad program?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
