<p>Is General Engineering is a decent engineering major? That's my major at Cal Poly, and I want to know if there are good jobs for a person with general engineering major..what kind of jobs would there be? (Btw, there is a bioengineering concentration for Gen. Engr)</p>
<p>[url=<a href="http://ceng-web.calpoly.edu/dept/%5DHere%5B/url">http://ceng-web.calpoly.edu/dept/]Here[/url</a>] is the link to Cal Poly Gen. Engr description (scroll down).</p>
<p>any reponses? </p>
<p>did i say something wrong?....</p>
<p>It is kinda of general and U of I is thinking of renaming it due to the confusion. I just don't think you asked a specific enough question to answer. Also Gen Eng is fairly new and very broad so it isn't as easy to pinpoint success with. I wouldn't know which is the best concentration but I know they can range from heavy science to heavily business. It is almost Business Engineering. I have a lot of friends in it and am still not quite certain what it is.</p>
<p>IlliniJBravoEcho - so would you agree then that general engineering at UIUC is not like that off Harvey Mudd, offering a broad perspective on all engineering?</p>
<p>You stated that it is almost Business Engineering. Do any of your friends in GE get jobs at good IB or consulting firms?</p>
<p>Some General Engineering programs, including the one at Cal Poly, lack ABET accreditation (in fact, General Engineering may be the only non-ABET engineering program at Cal Poly). This could be a limitation if you wanted to pursue graduate school or professional licensure in the future. Other General Engineering programs, like at Harvey Mudd, Caltech, or UIUC, do have ABET accreditation.</p>
