Ideas Wrote:Also keep in mind that most people have no GPA at TESU, because they don't count grades from transferred courses. I believe grad schools in that field will care about that.It's likely that he'd have a TESU GPA, since his JST is mostly mechanical stuff - he'd need a lot of electronics classes, either from TESU or Excelsior, or a community college (for some, not all).
Another caveat on the technologist degrees, though, like EET. I'm in Boston, and the 4-yr colleges are backing away from these programs as the market becomes increasingly saturated with pure-engineering graduates. (Even the undergrad engineers face a super competitive job market, as there are so many masters candidates/degree holders in the area.) I'd recommend doing a lot of research on your location and the opportunities there: what jobs are hot (and what degrees are required), what colleges offer (what degrees, with what paths - that will help you understand what you'll be competing against, for jobs), and what professional organizations are active there - an engineering association like ASME (for MechEs) or IEEE (for EEs, ComputerEs, CS, Math, etc) or ACM (EEs, ComputerEs, CS, Math, etc.) may offer some student benefits including networking opportunities.
