Hey, now! BS in Computer Engineering, 1999 GMI
Boost,
As others have said, you really want to get into an Engineering degree, mechanical sounds best for you. It will give you the better fundementals and help you start a higher pay. As for which school, I cannot say. Everyone is biased.
Kettering's ME-Auto program is top notch as many of my friends were in it. For Terry, I know a few people who co-oped in Europe. However, there are several cheaper schools that I think get the job done very well. If you like Ferris so far, you'll get more credits to transfer so try it out. Honestly, what school you get your degree from means very little for undergrad. Now if you wanted to get a masters or PHD, then the undergrad school means more for getting into a higher education program. The Masters or PHD school matters a little more.
A lot of the classes you mentioned you can take as electives under an ME degree and it will be cool at the time. But, I think 90% of the knowledge you need for work is learned at work. Just get the ME stamp and start at a good company.
