<p>I want to get some more information on engineering science. I know that in it you can specialise in mechanical, electrical and chemical in 3rd or 4th year and I plan to do so in mechanical. When I will go to get a mechanical engineers job will I be at a disadvantage because I would have not studied Mechanical engineering for 4 years?
Also will I get a mechanical engineering degree or an engineering science degree with specialisation in mechanical engineering?
Thanks.</p>
<p>What school/program are we talking about here?</p>
<p>Trinity University(Texas)</p>
<p>Bump…</p>
<p>What you may need to do is survey your career placement department (if you school has one) and see if it is a disadvantage. In my personal opinion, Engineering Science as a major may hurt more as an undergraduate degree than as a graduate degree. The good thing is that at Trinity, I believe the program is ABET accredited so that will help.</p>
<p>Most likely it would hurt if you are looking for jobs outside of Texas, but from what I have heard, Trinity has a good reputation in-state, especially in the southern part, so I wouldn’t imagine you would be too disadvantaged there.</p>
<p>the thing is I am international so I will be going back to my country and engineering science is not something that people here are familiar with. Also if I specialise in mechanical in engineering science will the knowledge provided to me be adequate to get a job of a mechanical engineer?</p>
<p>That is something you will have to look at by checking what kind of courses are required to get that mechanical concentration and comparing it to a traditional ME degree.</p>
<p>I’ve looked at Trinity as well.
It is ABET accredited and the courses are basically the same as courses you would take at other schools as an MechEng major.</p>
<p>Thnx 5pecer</p>
