1. Is this degree accredited?
蘑菇传媒 is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, baccalaureate, master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees. 蘑菇传媒鈥檚 undergraduate engineering program has been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering and engineering technology.
蘑菇传媒鈥檚 undergraduate General Engineering program has been accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.
ABET accreditation assures that programs meet standards to produce graduates ready to enter critical technical fields that are leading the way in innovation and emerging technologies, and anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.
2. Why does 蘑菇传媒 offer a general engineering degree rather than a specific one (civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, etc.)?
A general engineering degree provides students a well-rounded undergraduate education in engineering as a whole, with the flexibility to take courses in specific fields such as electrical, mechanical, industrial or civil engineering that will help guide the student to the professional career or graduate program that best fits their interests and skills.
3. What kind of job opportunities can graduates get?
蘑菇传媒 engineering students have accepted full-time positions at a variety of companies such as:
- AECOM
- Raytheon SAS
- Lockheed Martin
- Meers Engineering
- Enprotec Hibbs and Todd
4. Are there on-campus research opportunities?
Yes. Current on-campus projects include those with 蘑菇传媒 professors such as Dr. Darby Hewitt in his Robotics Lab and with Dr. Robert Brown and his fluid dynamics work with the NEXT (Nuclear Energy Experiment Testing), as well as many other research opportunities on campus.
5. In which graduate engineering programs have 蘑菇传媒 students enrolled?
Recent enrollments include Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The University of Texas at Austin, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Texas A&M University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, Montana State University, Texas Tech University and Colorado School of Mines.
6. Which classes should high school students take to prepare for majoring in engineering at 蘑菇传媒?
As many math courses as possible, including Pre-Calculus and Calculus.
7. Which math class does an 蘑菇传媒 student first take in the engineering program?
That is determined by the ACCUPLACER math test all incoming freshmen take during 蘑菇传媒鈥檚 new student orientation (more information聽). 蘑菇传媒 administers the ACCUPLACER test to measure a student鈥檚 readiness for various university courses. For example, 蘑菇传媒 uses ACCUPLACER scores to determine whether a prospective engineering or physics major is prepared for Calculus or Pre-Calculus courses.
