AI Thread Summary
ITT Technical Institute's commercials often elicit laughter due to perceptions of their educational quality. Concerns are raised about the legitimacy of their engineering programs, particularly since graduates reportedly only complete basic calculus courses. Critics argue that ITT prioritizes profit over education, offering degrees in Engineering Technology, which may not meet the qualifications to be considered an engineer, especially in Canada. The discussion highlights skepticism about the depth of math education provided, questioning the adequacy of a curriculum that includes only introductory calculus for aspiring engineers.

I always laugh when i see their commercials.One of my brothers friends who went ti ITT is supposedly an engineer and he said he only went up to calculus 1.WTH??HAHAHA

ITT tech is there to make money. I do not think they care as much about education as about attracting students to their programs. They only offer Engineering technology degrees I think, which I don't think qualifies you to call yourself an engineer, at least in Canada, not sure how it works in the US of A.
 
How far do engineers go... only another term of stewart calculus? HAHAHA
 
The math course of their so-called "engineers" is "Introduction to Calculus"
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
