The course requirements aren't, but engineering technology carries a stigma with it regarding a lack of academic rigor. At my school it's ABET accredited but it sometimes doesn't change the perception.
Also, I find myself gravitating towards the statistics courses in my program, and I'm...
It's my first semester in the Manufacturing and Mechanical Systems Integration masters program at RIT. I've just learned that the program name is changing to Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology. I don't want a masters in engineering technology, and since I've found that I'm...
You'll close in on something faster by picking one and hammering the piss out of it rather than spreading yourself thin over different things. I don't see a purpose in a physics degree unless there's something specific you want to do with it. In an engineering role I don't see it providing...
Also, double majoring in what? Physics and MET? If so, that seems counterproductive. The MET degree by nature is light on calculus and calc based physics, which you'd certainly be getting with a physics degree. If you're going through all that stuff anyways, why not just do the ME instead of...
I've done a few different things so bear with me... I started as a test engineer in a fuel cell R&D program for a couple years. After that I worked for a local utility company as a project engineer, managing projects involving powerplant system upgrades. During my time as a test engineer I...
I know this is almost a year old, but incase you're still deciding what to do, I have a BSMET. As long as you understand the differences between ME and MET and you don't expect to get a research position at caltech then it should provide you with plenty of opportunity. Just make sure its ABET...
I have a degree in mechanical engineering and have taken several computer science courses, so my resume since graduating in 2007 consists of engineering jobs along with my most recent software developer job, which I was laid off from a few months ago. I'm starting grad school next fall (2017)...
Wow thank you for the response. I was wondering the same thing myself actually, because it seems like when I type in 'controls engineer' on Indeed or a similar search term, it's littered with industrial controls jobs, plc programming, and the like, but I don't ever really see much in hardcore...
Hi all,
I've finally narrowed down my career interests to robotics and controls. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering Technology. I'm looking at a couple different grad programs at a local school:
MSEE with a focus on robotics and controls.
M. Eng. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on...
Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone out there has gone through this as well, or can weight in on it in some way.
I have a MET degree from 2007 with a cumulative gpa below 3.0. I want to get into the aerospace industry, and I'd really like to get an advanced degree to maximize my career...
I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and I've been out of school for almost 5 years. Several months back I started learning Java just for kicks, but I've reached a point where I'm pursuing more and more knowledge of CS concepts on my own, and the interested level is far exceeding that of...
As a guy from a mechanical engineering program, I can say that the few women we had in our classes were treated the same as anyone else. I had been involved in a few group projects with women in the group and nobody ever questioned what parts of the project they should get based on sex. Same...
