<p>I always kind of liked this brochure. It gives some basic information about the career paths a civil engineering graduate can take. Good for those thinking about majors or those early in their college careers.</p>
<p>Where can i find internships for fall and winter for 2012? It seems most seek summer interns…</p>
<p>I just updated the FAQ about Engineering Technology programs (a helpful member provided me with a more complete description). In order to highlight it, I am also posting it here:</p>
<p>My school has this Engineering Technology program…</p>
<p>Here’s a brief description of engineering technology programs. In sum, these programs require less calculus and more labs.</p>
<p>A BS in Engineering Technology (BSET) is a more hands-on and less theoretical course of study than is a BS in Engineering (BSE). These programs require less math than do BSE programs (typical BSET programs require two semesters of applied calculus, and may or may not require an applied version of differential equations). The physics required is non-calculus-based. These programs require more labs.</p>
<p>Graduates of these programs primarily get more hands-on jobs, such as test engineers, field engineers, applications engineers, manufacturing engineers or jobs in manufacturing management. They are far less likely to become design engineers.</p>
<p>There is some controversy about whether engineering technologists are engineers or not. Some call them engineering-lite programs. Two-thirds of the states will license them as PE’s with a couple more years of work experience than a BSE grad needs, but a small number of states will not license them regardless of their number of years of experience.</p>
<p>If you choose a BSET program, bear in mind that you may be limiting your options somewhat, compared with the options a graduate of a BSE in Engineering program will have.</p>
<p>[ABET</a> - Engineering vs. Engineering Technology](<a href=“http://www.abet.org/engineering-vs-engineering-technology/]ABET”>http://www.abet.org/engineering-vs-engineering-technology/) is another description differences between engineering and engineering technology, straight from ABET itself.</p>
<p>Is it even worth going into engineering when there is another easier doorway to success, Finance?</p>
<p>If finance is your thing, then go with finance. Don’t assume if someone is interested one, then he’ll be interested in the other.</p>
<p>I am actually wondering if CS majors should post here or Science forum.</p>
<p>Does anybody have any experience with transferring or switching from a degree in engineering to one in engineering technology? Do any of the classes transfer?</p>
<p>I want to develope and implement renewable energy systems should I do mechanical engineering or electrical? Also should I double major/minor in energy studies? Thanks</p>
<p>I would say ME, you make mechanical inventions that capture natual power from wind, etc to twists the turbine that creates electricity. Once that turbine creates electricity, you hook it up to the grid. Perhaps also the ME / EE field; as you would get more into solar power. I would take a look at the curriculum of the energy studies, and see if it will give you an advantage in learning how to harness natural energy. Nuclear is an entire different subject for energy creation.</p>
<p>I believe you should do what enjoy in life. Don’t just pick what you want based on money and and how easy it is, look for something that you see yourself doing and enjoying for most of your life. Although you may not be able to get what you want due to job opportunities and this rotten economy, try to find something else that you may enjoy and also give you a decent standard of living, you may even find yourself wondering why you hadn’t been doing that the whole time. If that something is engineering then do it. If it’s finance, then go ahead with that as well.</p>
<p>Hi, everyone!</p>
<p>I am planning on majoring in biomedical engineering in college. As a high school senior, what can I do to get a head start on this field? By the time I graduate, I will have taken all of the advanced science and math courses at my school, and I will have participated in the science fair for six years.</p>
<p>I’m going to be a senior student next year. And i decided to search for scholarships & financial aids early so i can save my time. And I need a help for finding colleges offers full ride scholarships for int’l studnets. Btw my major is Civil Engineering</p>
<p>What do engineering kids tend to minor in?</p>
<p>Math usually. Or you can manage your gen ed requirements to get a business or language minor.</p>
<p>A minor won’t help you get a job at all. If I had holes in my schedule, I would take more courses related to your major. For example, a civil engineering major might take a wood design course if he/she wants to be a structural engineer.</p>
<p>Not really a minor but my son in Civil is considering going for a certificate in project management. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Question why would you want to change from Engineering to Engineering Technology? You will get better jobs as a Engineer. Not knocking Engineering Technology it is a great field too and you make very good money.</p>
<p>
That won’t hurt, unless it’s a lot of courses.</p>
<p>How much physics is used in Electrical Engineering? I’m asking this because I don’t really like physics very much , but I do like electricity. I’m trying to decide whether I want to do Chemical Engineering or Electrical Engineering.</p>
