F*** yeah

[JHayesLS1]

I passed all of my courses with A's and B's. I'm 9 credit hours away from my A.A. in Engineering. Next up is my B.S. Degree. I can taste money. And a new F-body..

That is all

[ls1camino]

Congrats dude...it is the greatest feeling when you finally hold that B.S. in your hand

Congrats. Are you transferring or does you school enable you to get an A.A. on the way to getting a B.S.?

Congrats! Why not a Cobra.?.

Congratulations! In what area of engineering are you planning on working?

I'm transferring to a university with the A.A.
UCF gives all Valencia students with an A.A. guaranteed admission into the school.

You can always sell me yours with the whipple

Congratulations! In what area of engineering are you planning on working?

Mechanical Engineering. I want to work for lockheed martin or Siemens. Anything but the HVAC side of Mechanical Engineering. I work with them everyday and let me tell you how exciting it is

Hey, I am doing the same as you, allong with many others. I would buy a C5 Zo6 though, before another F-Body.

Bachelor of Science Degree

[Detroit Power]

I didn't know you could get an A.A. in Mechanical Engineering.


LM is a great company to work for.

[JHayesLS1]

Its more like an articulated engineering pre major.

[KahanaReef]

Good for you!

Bachelor of Science Degree

I know, I was jk.

I'm starting my AA next week. Congratulations. I got offered a job with Lockheed when I was getting out of the Coast Guard. Would have paid better than what I am getting now. But then again I would not be able to go for an AA. I'm on the fence about Electronics or Mechanical. Any engineers have some helpful suggestions on figuring out which fits me best?

My degree is in General Engineering, so I took at least two classes for each specific type of engineering, so I got a more broad education, rather than a specific one. I did this because I was not sure which one to pick. I came out of High School wanted to do Mechanical, Aerospace, Computer, and Material Engineering. Now that I have a degree, I STILL don't know which one I want to do...I am currently a Unix/Linux SA for the government

Personally I like Mechanical Engineering more than Electrical Engineering, considering it was not one of the four I wanted to do...mainly because mechanical can directly translate to working on cars, which, in my mind, would be a fun career (Race Car Shop or Designer for GM).

Just my $.02.

right on bro

From experience:

If you get an AE degree you will be pigeon holed, for the most part, into the defense industry. While Mechanical doesn't sound as "cool" or difficult, it's essentially the same but will allow you to dual-role in defense or the 'standard' sector.

Although with AE, you'll probably be more desireable to LM, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop, etc.

One more piece of advice. You'll never get rich as an engineer, but you can live comfortably. My company has been great to me....I've literally doubled my salary in 6 years, although I'd say I am probably in about 5% of folks that do that. Raises are very structured as are payscales in engineering. But I feel i've been very well taken care of overall and will likely retire with this company.
