    Degrees
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the decision between pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) at Temple University or a traditional Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) degree at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The individual is concerned about the perceived value of the BSET degree compared to the MET degree, questioning whether it would negatively impact job prospects. They note that many job listings require an engineering technology-related degree, which suggests that the specific title may not be as critical. Additionally, Temple offers a quicker and more affordable path to graduation, while RIT includes a co-op program that extends the timeline. Another participant expresses interest in Temple as an engineering transfer student, weighing their options between staying at Stockton State College for a Master's program or transferring to Temple for civil engineering. The conversation highlights the importance of degree recognition in the job market and the practical considerations of time and cost in educational choices.

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!

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.
