AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the comparison between mechanical engineering programs at Penn State University and Rutgers University. The original poster is uncertain about the quality of a Bachelor of Science degree from Rutgers versus one from Penn State Erie, especially given that Penn State's main campus is often ranked higher. It is noted that Penn State allows full credit transfer from its satellite campuses to the main campus, but the poster discovered that transferring to University Park is not a viable option for them. After contacting Penn State, they learned that if they were to transfer, it would require reevaluation and would essentially start as a new major, impacting their academic trajectory. This situation raises concerns about the reputation and recognition of degrees from satellite campuses compared to more prestigious institutions.

my major is mechanical engineering and I am not sure which school is better. Penn State University is always listed higher in rankings, but now i reallized that the side-campuses don't have the same reputations according to a few sites that i found...
is a BS degree from rutgers actually better than a BS from penn state erie?

Penn State allows full credit transfer to the main campus at University Park. So after two years you can transfer to the main campus. It is very common for students at the satellite campus to transfer to University Park after two years and finish there. The credits at a satellite count as if you went to main campus.
 
o sorry, i didnt put in enough info. i already did my first 2 years at a community college. i only need 2 years left to graduate. so fall 2009 will be the start of my junior year

edit: i just called up penn state. they said that basically University Park is not an option :( i would have to be reevaluated and if i did get accepted to the main campus, it wouldn't transfer from erie to main, it would start as a new major at my junior year basically

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
