Decipher this is it accredited or not….Engineering graduate programs are not normally subject to accreditation reviews. The MSETM is an OSU program, with cooperation between the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology, the College of Business Administration, and the College of Arts and Sciences. Each of these three colleges enjoys accreditation from its own accrediting body. For example, each of CEAT’s undergraduate programs is fully accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)

Since the school itself is a legitimate accredited school and each of the programs are accredited by legitimate bodies, I’d consider it fine. It’s a very specialized degree, so you aren’t going to find a body that accredits a program like that, so it will need to fall under the umbrella of the 3 sponsoring programs.

which schools can I apply to do graduate education in Electrical Engineering if i have a Bachelor of science in Electrical engineering technology ?
Most schools i have contacted say i need an engineering degree as if the one i have is not engineering so i am a bit confuse… HELP ANY ONE HELP!!

This is a sad situation and I’ve heard it many times. You think you’re getting an engineering degree and you aren’t, you are getting a technology degree. Not the same.

You cannot get an accredited MS in engineering without an accredited BS in engineering, and you don’t have that.

I love math and I’m good at it so is that degree right for me? I’m in the medical field right now so I’m not sure what I’m getting into.

Engineering is the application of science to solve a problem. Technology is the use of science in an object.
You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of all etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

Hi I’m thinking to study civil engineering technology its lentgh is 3 years advance diploma.Sincerely what can I expect about that? I live in toronto.
Also I want to know if is it enought education to star my own construction company?

You should try working for a contractor firm before starting on your own – you’ll get the real "learning" that you need by working in the field. NOBODY is going to co-op/venture into a company with you based on your degree – you need real world experience after you graduate.

Hey there, I plan on going into electrical engineering but I have my doubts… I want to be able to design electronics but also do repairs on computers and maintenance and such. So given that, can you please tell me the difference between the two and your opinion on which one suits me most. Thanks!

I’m in a different branch of engineering, so I can’t speak very well to the careers aspect of your question. What I can tell you is that the university where I teach offers both EE and EET as 4-year, ABET-accredited, BSc degree programs. The EE degree requires math through calculus III and differential equations, while EET stops at calculus II. In general, throughout their respective curricula, EE places greater emphasis on theory, EET on application. In my experience, the EET students seem to be more practical and sociable, if you catch my drift.

I suspect that what your other answerers have said about EET graduates apply primarily to those who have earned less than a full BSc degree. You’re welcome to email me if you need more info.

Im looking at going to a community college from this 4 year school that im at (for various reasons) and im considering majoring in Electro-mechanical engineering technology. What is its equivalent, normally? (I mean is it electrical or mechanical engineering or what)

The program will include both mentioned areas of engineering. However, it may not approach them from an academic point of view. Make sure that this is a university track program if you plan to return to a four-year school. Often at community colleges "technology" in the name of a major means that it is not university track program with transferable credits, but is a terminal vocational program whose credits will not be accepted by universities.

Yes, is industrial engineering technology BS a worthwhile degree to have? What does the job market, and earning potential look like for someone with this degree? Also, upon completion of the BS can you go on to pursue a MS in regular industrial engineering, or would it be preferred to obtain a MBA?

I would couple it with the MBA. Almost all of my friends that got IE undergraduate degrees went into consulting to start and then transitioned into management. The IE degree shows technical competence. When you put it together with an MBA companies will be interested in putting you into management opportunities with a technical competency.

Salaries will probably start ion the 50K to 70K (US dollars). I made my first six figure salary when I was 5 years out of college.

I know that Software Engineering is mainly focused on Programming, but then what is a Computer Programmer/Analyst? What do they focus on?

Thanks

They’re essentially the same thing.
