What is Applied Sciences in Engineering?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on choosing an engineering path while pursuing a dual degree in physics and engineering. The individual is considering switching from electrical engineering to civil engineering but is also intrigued by a degree in Applied Sciences in Engineering, which requires fewer credits to complete. Concerns are raised about the job prospects associated with the Applied Sciences degree compared to civil engineering. It is suggested that pursuing an ABET-accredited engineering degree may enhance job opportunities in the industry. The college's website indicates potential concentrations within the Applied Sciences program, such as Packaging Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Biomedical Science, which could offer relevant career paths. The individual plans to seek further clarification by contacting the dean.

Hey,
Im trying to figure out which engineering I should do. I am doing a dual degree in physics and engineering. I am pretty much done with physics. I was going to do electrical engineering, but i don't think its right for me. I am thinking of doing civil engineering, but then i saw a degree in Applied Sciences in Engineering. I only need 30 credits for that vs 55 in civil. What can i do with the Applied Sciences in Engineering degree? Is it useless like a bachelors degree in physics or can i get a decent job with it? This is my 5th year of college so the sooner i finish the better lol
thanks

it's hard to say without looking at the program, you may want to look at an engineering discipline that will award an ABET accredited (engineering) degree if you are looking to work in industry.
 
hmm, well this is what it says on the college site

i guess ill email the dean

Taken from the link you just provided: "Possible concentrations include: Packaging Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Biomedical Science". That alone illuminates the type of stuff you could be doing.
 
o ok thanks,
