Please excuse me, this thread was posted in the IT forum in error. Does anyone have info about entry into a graduate (MEE) with the BSAST from TESC? If so, what option was taken at TEST? Electrical or Electronics option. Seen that it’s a Technology degree, I’m wandering if it will meet the requirements to gain entry into an MEE program? What some of the most recognize & fastest earned online MEE out there?
Among ABET accredited engineering schools that I'm familiar with, you typically need an ABET accredited undergraduate degree for admission to masters level work. At all of the schools I'm aware of, technology degrees don't qualify. For example, one school says: "An earned Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical or electrical engineering (or equivalent) from an ABET-accredited university" Another says: "For admission to one of the engineering concentrations, the bachelor's degree must be in an appropriate engineering area." I don't say this to discourage you - but to point out that you may find some difficulties. Regards - Andy
Does ABET actually accredit master's programs? Capitol College has a new MSEE program that may not require a BSEE for entry. Their BSEE program is ABET accredited. It's a totally new program that starts in the Spring, and they'll let you take 6 credits while processing your admission (application is free if you do it on the web). It's not dirt cheap, but it does cost quite a bit less than the big name schools. If you're interested you should contact admissions to see if your background is sufficient - they're very helpful.
MEE with BSAST/TESC Andy,Gary, Thanks for the feedback, I've contacted Capitol, I'll keep you guys posted through the forum. Glenn.
Since I've seen a lot of people interested in the possibility of pursuing a graduate degree in EE without having a undegraduate degree in EE, I emailed Ken Crockett at Capitol College about the entry requirements for their program. Here's his response: Disclaimer: I'm not an employee of Capitol, but I am currently a student in their MSCS program. However, I don't receive any incentive (that I'm aware of) for referring people.
Gag, Please keep us posted. I am interested in not only the BSAST gaining admission to a ME/MSE, but engineering technology undergraduate degrees in general. I have seen ABET degrees mentioned in admission at alot of schools, however, I have also seen a bit of them allowing non ABET degrees provided you have the math/engeering sci/engeering management and sometimes a gre test score. Best Regards, Bill
MEE with BSAST/TESC Gary, Ken from Capitol, left me a voice mail @ work today explaining the requirements. I'll be contacting him. Bill, I keep you all posted through the forum. Note: I've change ISPs, hence, I've a new screen name. I used to be glennmari. Stay tuned. Glenn
I suspect that this will be the "killer" for most students. Most technology programs don't have this sort of math - instead they tend towards a couple of semesters of "technical calculus". Regards - Andy
ABET & Masters Programs Why yes they do but very graduated programs are accredited. A school has a choice but it is a mutually exclusive choice in program accredidation. If the Master's program is a candidate for evaluation, it must fullfill all the accredidation requirements of the BS program and additionally contain one year of work in synthesis and design courses which end in a formal paper presentation. So the choice for XYZ University would be to have the BS program accredited or the MS but they can't have both. Since the market for the BS is much greater, most schools do not have the MS programs evaluated. In addition, ABET does not evaulate Doctoral programs. Regards, Dick
Thanks for the explanation, Dick! I was wondering why it always seemed that a school's BS programs would be ABET accredited, but not their master's programs.
