<p>Is any one considering Engineering Physics. I not sure how good the outcome of the program is, and what possible job out come they have. I would be considering a Mechanical Engineer concentration. Any suggestions or insight on the the program? Thanks in advanced this is my first post. </p>
<p>I would consider Manhattan College for engineering majors. I know of 2 seniors there who received offers this Spring in the $100,000 range as chemical engineers. Many others have also gotten good offers.</p>
<p>This from the program:
“The Engineering Physics program at Fordham seeks to train its students with a broad-based foundation in fundamental engineering and physics principles with the depth of disciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in a career in engineering or a related field, including a wide variety of advanced technological and management careers. Engineering Physics majors can choose from three concentrations including: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. The Engineering Physics degree program leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics. We have recently added new laboratories in the areas of engineering experimentation, alternative energy (solar and wind), engineering design and robotics.”</p>
<p>While Fordham does not have a school on engineering, this is a very focused program in the physics department. If you want a broader engineering degree. you can go for the the 3/2 program with Columbia’s School of Engineering (3 years at Fordham, 2 years at Columbia engineering, two degrees). Columbia SE is one of the top ranked schools of engineering in the nation. No disrespect, but while Manhattan does have a school of engineering, it can’t match Columbia’s.</p>
<p>The program seems to doing well for grads:</p>
