Which cleps? - slefoll7 - 08-20-2015
Which cleps should I take to help with a degree in engineering and a seperate degree in aeronotics?

This is a very broad question. Without further explanation the simple answer would be: Any that fit into the degree requirements without overlapping previously earned credit.
Have you taken any coursework already? What are the requirements for the school/program you are wanting to attend?

I know I already said this in your other thread, but you're asking about using CLEP in a graduate degree program, but they won't count toward a master's degree.

You've started two different threads providing little details in both. In this thread you haven't mentioned a master's degree. In the other thread you have.
A master's in engineering usually requires that you have a bachelor's degree in engineering or the approximate equivalent thereof. Years ago I found a master's degree in engineering that did not require a bachelor's degree in engineering but did require many math and science courses as prerequisites.
There is such a thing as aeronautical engineering.
How much time do you think all of this education will take? It will take years. How did you come up with these educational goals? Do you know any engineers?
To get any bachelor's degree, CLEPs can help. How much they can help really depends on where you go to school and what your major is. CLEPs are less helpful for science and engineering degrees.

Are you trying to get a Bachelors first to lead to a Master's? Try Embry Riddle. Military friendly school, so I would imagine they are CLEP friendly (undergrad). They have an aeronautics degree online, they have their engineering programs in Florida.

Embry Riddle is a good school. It is also expensive and you should be very cautious about taking out student loans. You're going to need calculus. Take that at a community college or take the CLEP calculus test. Don't take on debt until you know how you can handle the advanced math that you'll be using throughout an education and a career in engineering.
