<p>These are the majors they offer</p>
<p>Electrical Engineering</p>
<p>Computer Science</p>
<p>Chemical Engineering</p>
<p>Civil Engineering</p>
<p>Engineering Mechanics</p>
<p>Environmental Engineering</p>
<p>Applied Engineering Sciences</p>
<p>Biosystems Engineering</p>
<p>Materials Science and Engineering</p>
<p>Mechanical Engineering</p>
<p>Things I want to know is what exactly is engineering. I know it involves alot of math and science which is a reason why I took it. I know engineers are usually succesful people. I thought some kind of engineer would be a good job. I have some kind of an idea on what they do, but can someone explain more. Also, can you tell me what engineering majors are the best and worst out of that list. I heard meche was the most versatile so I just chose that. I dont have alot of experience working with mechanical stuff though. Things I am thinking about are meche, biosystems, cheme, CS, and Electrical. Which one of those do you think have the best job oppurtunity.</p>
<p>Which MSU? Michigan, Missouri, or Montana?</p>
<p>Michigan. </p>
<p>What is Biosystems. Is that the same thing as Biomed. I wouldnt mind majoring in biomed but I dont think MSU offers it. I have always been good with computers so CS seems like something that would interest me. Is CS a good degree for the future. If someone could rank some of these that would be great.</p>
<p>Many people have said they plan on getting a degree in Engineering then getting an MBA. I think eventually after I have been working as an engineer for a long time I will be offered a job as a supervisor of some sort. So is it a good idea to go engineering then business.</p>
<p>Ok this is a really dumb question. On the app it asks what I want to major in. I chose Mech-e. It gives me 3 choices though. Undergrad, masters, and PH.d I think. Im supposed to choose undergrad right.</p>
<p>Puppetzz,</p>
<p>MSU grad here. Most of the engineering programs at MSU are just like anywhere else, but I do see where a couple of them changed names from when I attended.</p>
<p>First and foremost, let me just say that my alma-mater (Michigan State) are the KINGS of giving slightly different or complex names to majors that are the same as everyone else. Just to let you know for example, everyone else's "English Composition" courses at other universities are "American Thought & Language" at MSU. The same damn thing...lol.</p>
<p>Having said that, let me give you the skinny on two of the probably confusing-sounding engineering programs at MSU:</p>
<p>Applied Engineering Sciences - This major used to be called Engineering Arts. It is basically a more interdisciplinary-type of engineering program giving you all of the math, physics and chemistry needed to support engineering firms. I am glad they changed that name. Companies weren't taking grads seriously with a name like Engineering Arts.</p>
<p>Biosystems Engineering - This is a program that was the Biomedical Engineering option back when I was there. It has incorporated new areas in the major so MSU changed the name, but it's the major for the biomedical engineers.</p>
<p>Im confused on how you get a bachlores degree. Do I just have to graduate from MSU in order to get a bachlores degree in engineering. Or do I have to go to engineering school to get a degree.</p>
<p>Puppetzz,</p>
<p>Here is the process to obtain any BS degree from MSU:</p>
<p>1) Gain admission to MSU
2) Take your first 60 semester credits (freshman/sophmore years).
3) Apply to the school of your major (Business, Engineering, Natural Science)
4) If admitted, take your remaining 60 credits and get your degree
or
5) If not admitted, find another major and graduate</p>
<p>I thought people went to grad school after they took there undergrad for 4 years. Or is Engineering school at MSU different then grad school.</p>
<p>Man this forum is dead. I wish I could find a real popular engineering forum, or even better a chat room.</p>
<p>The forum is always a little slower on weekends. Some people do go to grad school after 4 years of undergrad, but it's certainly not required. You are an engineer after you get your BS (4 years of undergrad) but going to grad school will give you a more advanced engineering degree.</p>
<p>The way Global said it it sounds like I have 2 years to get into grad school. If I dont make it I have to pick another major. But you just said Im an engineer after my 4 years at undergrad. I obviosly want to go to grad school, but I thought I could be an engineer without grad school too.</p>
<p>Puppetzz,</p>
<p>I thought you were an incoming freshman. </p>
<p>For an incoming freshman, they have to get a good GPA in their freshman and sophmore years JUST TO BE ALLOWED to finish the last 2 years of the program.</p>
<p>After graduating undergrad, then you go to grad school.</p>
<p>I am an incomming freshmen, well for fall 2007 hopefully. Im not sure what I said that could cause you to think otherwise. What do they consider a good GPA.</p>
<p>Puppetzz,</p>
<p>When in that case Post #9 would apply to ALL freshman at MSU.</p>
<p>Yes, it's 4 years at MSU but the last 2 years are primarily in MSU's College of Engineering which you MUST be accepted to AFTER your first two years at MSU.</p>
<p>Ok, is MSU's college of engineering a grad school?</p>
<p>Puppetzz,</p>
<p>The MSU College of Engineering functions as the school for the last 2 years of a 4-year undergraduate engineering program AND ALSO the engineering grad school AFTER a student acquires a B.S. in Engineering.</p>
