No you can not. You can however get an ass. degree in mechanical engineering technology big difference. But then WTF would I know. I just spent the last 2 decades in software engineering and engineering management (hiring/firing real engineers and herding them). Oh and I did use your question as an excuse to call my son, (Ph.D. EE from Stanford), he got a good laugh and went back to coding. We all code .....

See4 I'm with dirtsurfr there are tons of worthless degree'd engineers out there. It takes more than the ability to pull down a sheepskin.

Thats exactly what im talking about. if your so educated y r u nitpicking such minor details. I switched from ME to ISE because the degree is much more flexible when it comes to hiring and allows me to more creative. It's a A.A.S in Mechanical Engineering Technology. Also, you take 300 level classes that a BS in ME would take.

I agree. Tons of worthless engineers, but an exponentially higher number of worthless managers. I was commenting to the fact that the problem isn't necessarily engineers, rather management.

@situation420 : Inserting the work "technology" in a degree title is nit picking? What a moron. Makes a huge difference. OK. every other post of yours you have to mention that you are educationating yourself. LOL SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

It takes 2 years for and associates, 4 years for a bachelors, 4 + 2 = 6. Also, Industrial and Systems engineering is an engineering that focuses more on project management and engineering economics. My ME degree is just hot fudge on my sundae.

My MSCS is from a state school. Then again this isn't my first time to the rodeo. My first sheepskin was very impressive.

Situation420 saying things like you have an ASME when ABET says that degree does not exist and then complaining about me 'nitpicking' and my lack of education! Oh my! You won't make it through probation. Everything in engineering is attention to detail. There's nothing but detail.

Worse right now is NOT a good time to try to get an engineering job. What you have to sell is how very detail oriented you are you need to convince them if they invest in you you have time to give them we older engineers do not have. But if you come on like you did on this site you'll get fried in no time.

We simply do not have time to babysit.

Engineering graduates 'taking unskilled jobs'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-14823042

Since this article came out in late 2011, engineering grads have doubled and the jobs have not. That piece of paper is going to make someone a lot of money, and judging by your posts, it is going to be the school, not you.

Lwt me know where you get a job waiting tables; I'll leave a good tip.

Ill get some of that ass bb :wink:. I would think if you spent so long hiring and firing people and know so much about degrees you would at least be able to spell it right lol

ROFLMAO!!! I did spell it right in your case. That was my point. I'm glad you went back over for 'detail' LOL! Good!

Generally. Their "papers" are a little more attractive, no? Especially with such a large pool of noobs to choose from.

Personally i don't care much about a degree at all. I'm just doing it because it will always be there for me to fall back on if i need to someday. The only thing a degree is good for in my opinion is that it shows you can commit to something and finish it. There are not many people that can do this and would rather bash going to college and the education system. Yes the system has its issues but if you look at it for more than face value, a degree, no matter what it is in, says a lot about a persons character and capabilities.

Who told you that? Over half of college grads cannot find work, even slinging coffee.

Most college grads can't find work because they don't want to do jobs that they deem good enough for them. You can go on craigslists in almost any city and there are jobs available. My dad does that to me every time I try to use the excuse theres no jobs. He gets me a list of 10 jobs that are hiring in an hour and calls me back and says stop being so lazy. How is he able to find so many so fast if thats the case?
