S and I just toured the engineering program at Temple University. Several of their engineering majors are ABET accredited, but the general engineering major interested my S the most, however it is not yet accredited. We were told it should soon be and that it would not be an issue by the time he graduates in 4 years or so. Is this truly something to not be concerned with, or should he stick to a major that is already ABET accredited? Thanks.
Can he start out in another engineering discipline and then switch to GE once it’s accredited?
He would need to declare by his second year, so I don’t think it is a possibility to switch.
Don’t risk it. This is career we’re talking about.
