<p>OP, J89 is straight and true in his/her advice. I have a client who is a major recruiter in the eng discipline. There is a world of ways to use that PitE program curriculum in the field. So unless you were specializing in environmental engineering (where it might be a touch redundant) that would be a great pick.</p>
<p>In addition, econ is never “useless” per se when you’re entering your discipline, as most of the employment opportunities will be fortune 500 cos., gov, or civil, all of which are hugely concerned with comprehension and response to the economy and all of which benefit from a comprehension of economic theory.</p>
