I already have a background in telecommunications/electronic circuits via the USMC (data systems tech), will that play a role in what kind of work I can do? Sorry if some of these questions seem elementary; I'd just rather be over prepared than under.
To the EE's, what kind of books do you suggest studying? I've found one here.
This is the curriculum of the degree I'm intending to switch to. I agree experience goes a long way but the coursework is important to me as well. I don't want to fall into another joke curriculum like I had with my past 2 years of schooling.
Thanks again. |
If you think you'll ever go back and get your masters, get it now and don't wait. For me, I want to get mine but I would have to do nights/weekends and like I said in my previous post, it's hard to get back into study mode.
That looks very similar to the courses I took for my degree (only took quick glance at the courses). As long as the degree program is ABET accredited, then you shouldn't have a problem with the degree. Also, don't do an engineering technology program. I know many people that got one and took them a long time to find a job. Most firms won't hire you as an engineer if you have an engineering technology degree (Also, you can't get a PE with an engineering technology degree. At least that's the way it is in GA and TN)
