How is saveetha college of engineering?

Advice needed for a college engineering student?

  • ok heres my deal.. basically, I was a huge overachiever in HS and came into college with a whole year completed.. i started as a math major and then essentially became undecided and took a good amount of electives my current (first) year... this would be fine for most majors, but engineering majors have little wiggle room in what classes they take, and i have decided now to go into the school of engineering...so even though i have 2 years of school complete, about half of my courses i cant apply to any field in engineering..therefore i am already behind and have to stay for at least another 6 semesters... so basically im behind, and since i havent taken the basic engineering course with an overview of all the fields i have had little exposure to all of the fields... currently im in the most basic course in materials science engineering, and i think its pretty cool, but im afraid that thered be something id be more interested in.. so ive signed up for the classes that seemingly puts me on pace for MSE, but i could also perfectly change to mechanical, since all of my courses overlap... additionally, only 1 of the courses doesnt overlap for each of biomedical and civil, so i wouldnt be too bad off there (just based on the descriptions, i would say these 4 are the ones im most interested in anyways)... the courses im in are: multivariable calc, intro to MSE (which i cant use for civil), applied mechanics (which i cant use for biomedical), and physics for engineers...im probably going to additionally take a core class and ill have room then to take a 1-credit basic engineering (with an overview of all the different programs)... now my problem is what kind of jobs are available to MSE majors? my professor said most jobs require a certification in each respective field (i cant remember the actual acronym, but it is a 4 letter thing that you pay to renew annually). now he also said he didnt believe they offered it for materials engineering, so is it harder to get a job? also, is one of the aforementioned majors more helpful in getting into another field (like if i have a materials major can i get a biomedical job?). basically i just dont want to be confined to one job if i have numerous inclinations down the road... also, theres like a 5 year BS/MS program i could see about getting into.. how important is a masters ? can i get a decent job with just a bachelors (and then possibly go back to school down the road)... also, theres a decent chance i go for law school straight out of college (and maybe get an engineering job if possible all the while?).. since its getting late and im getting behind on my planning, ive resigned to graduating with some engineering degree whether or not i end up liking it (becauuse another change would be devastating to me), and if i realy dont like it, im going to end up in law school... so what should i do? are all the engineering fields somewhat similar? are jobs just as easy to get into? are they all pretty interesting? i got tons of questions so any advice you can help is much appreciated (i already talked with an advisor for a long time about the ideal classes to take, and im not officially in the engineering program yet, so i dont really have anyone else to go to).... THANKS!

  • Answer:

    I'm going to school for Mechanical Engineering. idk what jobs there are yet, as i haven't looked (only a freshman) but i do know that employment rate for engineers is high, and pays well.
