<p>My daughter (HS SR) is looking at EE or EET. I've been looking at some curriculums at different schools, and the EE programs seem to have basically the same class lists, but the EET programs seem to vary somewhat. Two of our better local universities have EET programs at their branch campuses. One starts with the same Calc 1-3 and Diff E that the engineering students would take, but the other starts wtih 2 technical math classes and has only 2 calc classes and a calc/diff e class, and they are specific to the technology students. The one with more calc alsu has 2 physics classes, the other only one. Would the former give a better chance for grad school if she eventually decides to go that route? Right now the hands-on part of things appeals to her, but who knows if that continues? Also, from a practical standpoint, will potential employers note the differences? The more intense program quoted 100% employment before graduation last year with a very respectable starting salary average for our area.</p>
<p>Is there such a thing as meaningful rankings for technology programs anywhere?</p>
<p>What school are you looking at?</p>
<p>My school offers an EET program that is actually a 2+2 program meaning someone with an associates in a related field can go for 2 more years and get a bachelors in EET. </p>
<p>The EET curriculum tends to be much less intense than the EE program here but also only 90% of the EET grads got a job out of graduation where as 100% of the EE's got a job. </p>
<p><em>shrug</em> If a person is starting from high school I'd do an EE program.</p>
<p>I guess I should have said that these EET programs are both BS EET, not 2 year degrees.</p>
<p>This is the curriculum at the school that looks more stringent to me</p>

<p>135 Credits Total. All Seminars are 0 credits. While many of the courses are titled similarly to those in the EE programs she's looking at, it is my understanding that these ones will likely be more hands on and maybe less theoretical. In general, would she be required to have more math and physics prior to going for a masters in EE, and would it be dependent on industry experience if she waited a couple years to go for the MS?</p>
