Magerange Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I am a certified engineer. Anyone else graduating this semester? What degrees? 4

It's quite a broad programme (4 years), tbh. It looked at transportation more from logistics and supply chain point of view, but also included engingeering subjects like math, physics, drawing in Solidworks & AutoCad, mechanics to calculate loads on different elements, etc. Overall conception of programme is not bad, but the execution in my university was pretty terrible... Many professors lacked conception of how theory works in reality, most study materials hadn't been changed since around 2005, when the programme was estabilshed, etc. (basically that's what you get if you spend your whole life reading books and not working in the industry). TBH, neither me or my study mates are super excited about the quality we received, but degrees a degree. I guess. Edited July 1, 2017 by Magerange

Probably more job opportunities than other fields. 1
