    Programs Is a High GPA in an Easier Degree or a Lower GPA in a Harder Degree More Valuable?

    Just curious of your opinion: achieving a 4.0 at an easier degree like engineering tech. or doing poor in a math based degree like engineering I'm still pretty set on engineering technology and I know my GPA will drop, but I would like to know your opinion from employer perspective. Also I'm...

    Engineering Quality Engineering Experiences: Share Yours

    Nice, thanks for the reply! What kind of engineering degree got you a job in software QA? The thing is, it would be ideal for me to work as a Quality Engineer in manufacturing (since it's the route I'm on), but also leave the door open for software QA...I'm not sure how I'd achieve this without...

    Engineering Quality Engineering Experiences: Share Yours

    Just curious if anyone here has worked in quality engineering before and could share their experiences (manufacturing, maybe software quality assurance)? Not really looking for guidance here, although I work as a quality tech and plan on going for a degree in physics (I know I should probably...

    Programs Mechanical Engineering Technology?

    I appreciate all the feedback! If you would like to check out the community college curriculum: http://catalog.stcc.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=17&poid=4033&returnto=3440 (my ART credits are going to work with all these Humanities electives) I have met with an advisor at my community...

    Programs Mechanical Engineering Technology?

    I'm switching to Physics. I have more credits in Physics and I don't want to regret doing MET.

    Programs Mechanical Engineering Technology?

    I took some art electives prior. The Physics program at my community college has an awful lot of electives. I figure physics could be a degree that could get my foot into the door at a variety of jobs. I really don't know what I want to do...I'm more of a computer person rather than a...

    Programs Mechanical Engineering Technology?

    I currently have 19 credits towards Physics, 9 credits towards Engineering, and 17 credits towards MET o0) I know it shouldn't define my decision, but it does to a certain extent...I want to feel like I'm closing in on something :sorry:

    Programs Mechanical Engineering Technology?

    I have an A in my Trigonometry class. I got a job as a Quality Tech at a CNC company doing Solidworks, CMM programming, etc. (pretty much the job I'd expect to get with a MET degree). I currently have 19 credits towards Physics, 9 credits towards Engineering, and 17 credits towards MET. I know...

    Programs Mechanical Engineering Technology?

    Thank you for the reply. I have been majoring in ABET accredited MET since I started this topic. I took 4 classes total (intro, solidworks I and II, and gd&t). I am changing my major to Physics after this semster. Although I am considering to double majoring. If you don't mind me asking, you...

    Programs Number of General Electives in Physics Degree - Bachelor's Level

    How many general electives are typical for a bachelors degree in Physics? They are accepting 18 of my art credits for the Physics Transfer program at the associates level. I would like to know how many credits will count towards a bachelors. I am guessing 9 credits...I am trying to get an...

    Do All Four-Year Colleges Require Foreign Language for Physics Majors?

    Thank you. I will attempt to contact all local 4 year schools and find one that doesn't require a foreign language. In your personal opinion, should I do Physics over MET? My initial plan was to knock out an associates in MET (not a bachelors, that would be a waste of time), then start all over...

    Do All Four-Year Colleges Require Foreign Language for Physics Majors?

    I am going to a community college for MET and I want to change my major to Physics. I have 16 art credits and they will accept all of them for the associates degree, but they warned me that UMass needs 2 semesters of a foreign language. Is this typical of all four year schools for a...

    Programs Double Major in Engineering or Physics? Marketability of MET/ME

    I have already started a Mechanical Engineering Technology associates degree (I know, bad idea lol). My employer, being a machine shop, likes this and says to keep at it. I'm finding MET too easy; though I'm starting math next semester so that may change. I placed into Trig (the class before...
