<p>I figured that, but got stuck wondering how many classes would end up transferring. Maybe calculus and physics classes transfer, but engineering classes like mechanics, statics and thermodynamics don’t? </p>
<p>And, breathe.
=)</p>
<p>Issues like this are generally resolved on a case-by-case basis. They will look at the BSEET requirements and compare them to the BSEE coursework you have completed, trying to match each BSEET course with one that is comparable or more rigorous. So your calc and physics classes will probably be fine, and some classes will probably be acceptable as electives, but it really depends on the school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You may want to contact the schools offering the ET majors about the transferability of those courses into the ET degree program.</p>
<p>Well, he is not “feelin’ me” on this, so I will just wait for now. I don’t think it would be appropriate to go so far as to contact schools without him.</p>
<p>This thread has really helped me in understanding diff. between engineering and et. I have been accepted in New York City College of Technology for B.tech in computer engineering technology which is a 4 year degree course,what you think about it:should i join or not?</p>
<p>
Absolutely. Or definitely not.</p>
<p>You see, it really depends on you, what you want, what alternatives you have, etc. You have provided no information that would let anyone say whether or not it is the right choice for you. It is certainly the right choice for some people and the wrong choice for others. For you? No idea.</p>
<p>Should i provide you the link to the page with all the info regarding the course.</p>

<p>Here is the link to the info of the course : <a href=“http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/academics/deptsites/cetech/programs/btech_ad.html[/url]”>http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/academics/deptsites/cetech/programs/btech_ad.html</a> </p>

<p>The course is not the issue - YOU are the issue. What do you want out of college? What kind of work do you want to do, what of things do you want to study, where do you want to be a decade after you graduate?</p>
<p>Okay, but i can do mba after this if i want to get into management line.</p>

<p>Anyone can do an MBA… at least somewhere.</p>
<p>I agree with Boondocks, as a Engineering Technology grad who graduated 20 years ago, I have never had the title “Technician” or “Technologist”, ABET’s info on one vs. the other is inaccurate in the real world. Just go on LinkedIn and search for Engineering Technology graduates to get a realistic view. All my classmates and many prior and after my graduation are Engineers as well, some are Managers managing BSEE and BSME degree holders. </p>
<p>Experience is everything, in my field of Engineering I never see anyone using Level 3 Calculus or Differential Equations, but sure there are jobs that require it just not as prevalent or across the board as many are led to believe, mainly in Research. </p>
<p>Engineering grads spend the first 2 years taking mainly the core prereqs and do not even hit any Engineering classes until year 3. Engineering Technology grads hit both day 1 as well have a lot more lab work and lengthy lab classes, most of mine average 3 hours in length.</p>
<p>Also I had the option to take all the higher level Math, beyond the Calculus level I had.</p>
<p>While I would suggest most that are interested in Engineering to pursue a Engineering degree, I do this mainly on my experiences with the job market, although I have not had real problems landing a job after experience built up, your still labeled with a degree that is not a industry cookie cutter standard and often not recognized by a lot of ignorant Hiring Managers who think you need such and such degree to do the job even if the work is not really technical or very challenging, face it a lot of products out there that are designed by BSME’s are not so inspiring or involve much Engineering or hand calculations with Calculus. </p>
<p>You often might see job ads that say “BSME required” or " Not In Engineering Technology" but these are becoming less prevalent. Even if you have all the experience, some companies and hiring managers will still count you out based on this fact and it often can be frustrating especially if it’s something interesting or a stellar company that is the rave in the world.</p>
<p>I have though turned down a few jobs, some in excess of $100K, based on the fact I didn’t want to relocate after going through the motions of flying out to interview and looking at the said area. At the end of the day, if your good enough you will succeed with a Engineering Technology degree just know the path might be a little bumpy and filled with a lot of naysayers who will try to prove you subpar.</p>
<p>If you want to espouse or discuss the merits of technology degrees, I suggest starting your own thread rather than resurrecting multiple zombie threads that everyone has long since moved past. Reopening threads doesn’t really do anything productive.</p>
<p>Just informing the misinformed, from what I read on here there are plenty who are misinformed.</p>
<p>Creating a new thread on the subject is pointless, since I would be asking what I already know.</p>
<p>And thread resurrection is pointless because non one cares anymore. There’s nothing in the rules against making a post with information rather than a question. All a thread necro will do is start things off on the wrong foot.</p>
<p>Nobody cares, but I got two responses. </p>
<p>That’s a non sequitur. Neither of which is related to the topic at hand, but instead to forum etiquette. Look, I have no doubt you feel you have some valuable insight to share, and maybe you do. You will reach more people and a more receptive audience if you either start your own informational thread about it or else just hang around and offer your experience to those who eventually ask the question again, because it will happen, unless maybe you do an informational thread that is deemed valuable and insightful enough to get pinned to the top. It’s just a bit of friendly advice. If you want your advice to reach more people, just think about it.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, I think there really ought to be a pinned thread about the distinction between engineering and engineering technology.</p>
<p>You got two responses ABOUT how nobody cares. As boneh3ad noted, you are welcome to start a post expressing an opinion or providing information without posing any questions whatsoever.</p>
<p>And with that, I’m out!</p>
<p>All I was trying to do was to ameliorate the existing topic. Truly I find searching forums and seeing 20 or 30 threads on the same subject painful when forum mods do not bother to merge topics.</p>
<p>A pinned thread would be excellent, good point!</p>
