Is machanical engineering tough as an undergraduate degree? Does it pay off moneywise later on?Is UWI good?

In my option it is not hard.  It is only hard if you believe what people are saying and you say to yourself it is hard.  So long as you show up to class every day and make an effert to complete every assignment you will be able to get it.  It also gets a little easier after the first two years.\n\nAs far as work, you should have no problem getting a Mechanical Engineering position once you have a degree.  Also, you can expect to make atleast $50-60K/Year right out of school with $60-75K+/year after 5 years of solid work experience.  \n\nIf you get a masters or MBA you can open your earning potential more to $80K-120K+/year.

It depends on how you plan on using the education.  Most small, 4-year colleges in Michigan meet the same standards for undergraduate work. I vote for Adrian College, of course, since I'm an alum and because it's always had some cool science resources, but Albion is also a good school. The instructor is the key, rather than the school, when it comes to 4-year colleges. If you're going to go on to graduate school, though, start at a university if you can possibly afford it.  Obviously, U of M is the top of the heap, followed by Wayne State.

Many for profit univresities like that have poor reputation with employers. You might be better going with a local universtiy with an online program. It should be less expensive as well. It's considered a "degree mill."

Like $17,000.00, thats how much my tuiton was yearly and I majored in Merchandise Marketing.  It also depends on what you're going for, Fashion Design is more since it involves more supplies.  Whatever you decide to go for, good luck!  FIDM is a great school!

I have no knowledge about Wollongong U, but i know SIM  or Uni SIM (basically both are same) are pretty good.\n\nIf you could get into any of 3 regulare Univeristies in Singapore (NTU, NUS or SMU) that would be best.\n\nI happened to talk to admission officer at SMU few months ago regarding one of my neice admission was told that it is easier to get admission in its ISM (information system management).\n\nBy the way if you are non singaporean then you are would be interested to know that these there  regular Universites are supported by governemnt and you would be entiltled for government support in tuition (subject student must agree to work in Singapore for 3 years after graduation).\n\nNTU has recently launched its new  4 years double degree in Business and Computing  http://www.ntu.edu.sg/compbiz/  worth looking at. \n\nBy the  way it is worth knowling that normally Singapore Universites costs less then US$ 5000.00 for year after governemnt grant for international student. I do not think any other country could offer this kind and with world class Universites. \n\n\n\nTwo of my children are studying at UWO in Canada and one at local Univeristy in Singaproe, and i am more impress then what i see in Singapore U.\n\nI hope this would help.

Good luck with that one.\n\nOnly way you're going to get that accomplished is if you are an absolutely outstanding student, network relentlessly, and are better than everyone else.\n\nIf you can do that, it doesn't matter which major you choose.  Engineering in this day in age though is more in demand than just about anything else.

i know waterloo has a good mechanical and mechatronics program. they have a really good engineering program in general, so for all types. \n\nengineering science at university of toronto has an infrastructure program, which is like civil kinda. and it has other options which relate to those 3 (nanoengineering, manufacturing, infrastructure). \n\nhope that helped. sorry i dont know any outside of ontario. later

I am from Toronto...UofT(univesity of toronto) is the only university in the world with a bachlors degree in Nano Engineering (incl. Genetic Engineering). The req. are crazy though...have a look into it

all are good because if you are willing to study you will definitely get what you want from there.All the same a uni is the best because more complex materials that are apparently  not tought in the schools or colleges, are tought here.

I am finishing two degrees there. Bachelors in Business Management and Marketing. I am doing their flex-net program where there is an on-grounds class in the first and last week of each course. I am in Wisconsin. I say this because I have heard the quality from state to state is a bit different at times. Overall I am satisfied with the coursework and the school. \n\nOne will take from theses classes as much as they put into them. By no means are the majority of classes easy or is this a diploma mill. Even Harvard is selling on line courses now. UoP is the largest accredited on line school in the world right now. I am friends with a couple of my professors who also teach at other colleges and they tell me the requirements are higher and stricter than the other on-ground colleges they teach for. \n\nAs far as getting a job after wards I know other students whom have gotten excellent jobs with a UoP diploma. They do have a reputation for being a good school. You just need to stay on top of things and if there is a problem take care of it immediately. They will work very hard to satisfy the situation.

Option 1 will most likely bring the best financial return.  But, it will certainly require that you stay technical in the Engineering arena.  If that's what you want to do, then go for it!

I had a very successful mowing/landscaping operation going all through high school.  It wasn't glamorous, but I made a ton of money; enough to put me through college debt free.  I had three employees and about $25000 worth of equipment when I sold the business at graduation.\nIt's a good one if you're dedicated to working hard.

Hey dina,\n  this confusion prevails in 95% of cases joining for the bachelors course in engineering.\n  Try to analyse ur self n find  ur interest first. as u CANNOT get going with a non-interested subject..that would lead to a falling of  grades.\n  Coming to jobs ..i suggest not to worry at this stage. since ur concepts and foothold in ur subject are most required. I also recommend strongly not to be carried away by ur friends/neighbours etc choices. \n To my knowlegde...Mech & Manf are evergreen subjects and Electr & Instr is booming. Each subj has its own speciality.\n wish u all the best for ur career lauch pad\nregards,

UWIC ie university of wales offers one of the lowest fee in UK for an MBA and i think they throw in a trip to south africa as well. but its not one of the good uni's so think.

In order for this to work out for you, I would say that you would have to totally make up your mind and commit to this.  \n\nEngineering is not the type of study that you can half-ass and make it through with good grades.  You won't be able to keep working 8 hour days or so and make it through the cirriculum.  I'm in mechanical engineering right now and I love it, but its hard work.\n\nAlso, I don't know of any schools that would offer every class you need via distance learning.  Work experience like co-ops look good on a resume but I don't think its completely necessary if you graduate with good grades.\n\nI would just suggest that you make you commit 100% if you're going to go for it, otherwise you'll end up spending thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it.

I went to UOP and got a degree in Business Management. It is really an excellent school for working adults but if you are just graduating from high school I would go to a regular university. The cost is really relative to what you think the education is worth. For me it was worth the extra cost to allow me to continue working during the day and attend class at night. As a working adult, it would be difficult, if not impossible for me to attend a formal university because classes are held during the day. I needed something to accommodate my schedule.\nI thought the program that they offered was really excellent, however, you are pretty much on your own to do the assignments without much feedback from the instructors. I was never really sure if they actually read my homework or just put an A on anything that was turned in. They have a team class structure where you work with other student in   a collaborative effort to complete assignments and make weekly presentations. This was very effective in learning team building skills and working with other people. Sure, there was always one person on your team that didn't do his or her fair share of homework but we always managed to get it done. In the end, you only get out of it what you put in to it.\nThe classes are held once a week from 6pm to 10pm. There is always one individual assignment and one team assignment due each week plus a team presentation.
