Hey everyone, was looking for some input please! I just finished my Associates in Mechanical Engineering Technology and am looking to move on to my BS degree. I got accepted to Rochester Institute of Technology and Temple University. RIT has the traditional MET degree, while Temple has a BSET which is a bachelors of science in engineering technology. Would it look "bad" to go get the degree from Temple, because it doesn't sound as "specialized"? Or in the end does it not really matter because it looks like most job listings just say an engineering technology related degree as the requirement? Reason I ask is because Temple would be a quicker way to finish (they told me 3 semesters based on my credits) and cheaper, so I am considering it. RIT I am looking at another 3 yrs, however a year of that is co-ops. Any insight into the differences in degrees from your experience would be greatly appreciated.

Give it some time someone will respond. I can't answer your question, but I also have been accepted to temple as a engineering transfer student, so I am interested to hear what people have to say about Temple. My decesions lies in whether I stay at Stockton State College and pursue a 4 +1 Master's degree in computational science or transfer to Temple to pursue a degree in civil engineering. Anyway good luck!
