<p>Hi,</p>

<p>i am thinking of applying to engineering technology and need your advice on the comparison btw engineering tech and engineering.</p>

<p>1) difficulty
2) time and effort needed (i heard engr tech takes less time to complete)
3) career prospects (i heard engr students are paid better and have more design-based jobs)
4) post-grad studies (will engr tech students be disadvantaged when applying to post-grad? since its much simpler than engineering)</p>

<p>please advise,
thanks alot</p>

<p>Irene</p>

<li>The difficulty of the schools differ significantly, with eng tech being easier, much less math etc.</li>
<li>Refer to number 1.</li>
<li>Eng tech, probably equiv to eng if not better. I know the ind. tech has like a 98% placement rate.</li>
<li>not sure.</li>
</ol>

<p>yeah im still wondering about #4....if people underrate engr. tech degrees how are individuals who do A BA able to do their masters in engineering, a BA degree has NOTHING to do with engineering</p>
