Hey all, my first 'real' post here, though I've been reading this forum for almost two years now! Would love some advice on a Mechatronics program.
I am curious if anyone has thoughts about ABET certification in a Mechatronics degree program? While I know it is highly recommended for EE and ME Degrees, it looks to me as though only six Mechatronics degree programs in the US are ABET certified, none of which are anywhere near me.
A little backstory: I always had good grades in HS, but due to some circumstances right out, I ended up going directly into the job market. Three years later, I started my own landscaping company, and worked my way into the excavation field. I did this for about 7 years, but have decided I wanted to go back to school, originally for an EE BS. I am currently enrolled in a local community college full time, and have a 4.0 Cumulative GPA. I am getting ready to transfer in the Fall, but have grown to like a Mechatronics degree program offered at a local college. One caveat is that while their EE program is ABET certified, the Mechatronics program is not.
Any thoughts are welcome, and I will be around to answer questions if anyone needs further information! Thanks again!
