Schools Is DeVry University Worth It? A Comprehensive Review and Analysis

[JasonRox]

I agree with FrogPad, it's just offensive to sit here and listen to this kid try to convince us one dumbed-down (no proofs?!) class on Calc I is the equivalent of my many years of math education. It's beyond annoying or amusing -- it's insulting.

I'm curious to know if he can become an accredited engineer. Not sure what they are in the US, but I'm sure there are professional designations.

I would guess not.

I always thought of Devry as a school for high school drop outs. They drop out, get there GED later on and then go to Devry.

The criteria prohibits an accredited engineering technology program from claiming that it gives its graduates the equivalent of an engineering education

Hey man, you can go to a real uni w/ a GED as well! I'm a drop out, got my GED, then went back to school a few years later. I'm a 3.9 student in Physics/Math and I'm going on to grad school. For all intents and purposes a GED is just as good as a HS diploma. Sorry to go off topic but I felt like I must defend the honor of the GED.

I have a friend who dropped out and is getting a PHD in biology. Be proud of it!

That's not what I think of general drop outs. That's what I think of Devry, or that's what I thought before because I always saw commercials of Devry aimed at drop outs and so on. That was their target market. You can't blame me for thinking that.

1. Engineers are ENGINEERS and Technicians are TECHNICIANS.

2. Technicians, who won't to be considered as Engineers should obtain an BSEE or MSEE.

3. Technicians being recognized as Engineers are company dependent; and how hard do you think that Technician had to work.

4. Recognize the difference, that T in EET, CET, MET is there for a reason.

Lastly, with over 10 years as a Technician working with both Engineers and Technicians, A DeVry Graduate myself currently working on my MSEE. A Technician will always have to have years of work experience on top of his educational background to be consider...; You can figure out the rest for yourself!
