Hello there, I am very to share this space. The atmosfere seems clearer, at least. I am reposting this two questions that did not get any luck on a.e.d.: I think that the subject GRE in Engineering will not longer be administered after March. I think this is the case for the subject tests in Economy and Geology, and perhaps others as well. Any suggestions on how to obtain the credits or specializations that those tests would had awarded at institutions like Charter Oak or Regents? Do you know of any alternative to these tests? Best regards, Aaron
Aaron- I can't speak to engineering, but when I decided to take a GRE in History (since discontinued)I discovered that by doing so I was prevented from taking 7 (I think) CLEP and Dantes exams as they would not count anymore as they duplicated part of the GRE. I suspect that using CLEPS, Dantes, TESC and other available exams you could piece together a group of tests that would duplicate the GRE in scope and deliver an equal amount of credit. This would be somewhat more expensive than a GRE but still less expensive that most any other option.
You don't say how much experience you have. If you are in the USA, you could contact your state board of professional engineers to see if you are eligible to take either the fundamentals of engineering exam or the principles of engineering exam. The first one may be worth some college credit. The second one would make you eligible for a professional engineering licence, which is approximately equal to a masters degree. However, demonstrating the required years of experience without a degree is difficult. See www.ppi2pass.com for a good overview of this area; they are a publisher of study aids for these exams, but there is lots of free info on their site. ------------------ Gerry Ashton
