Default OT JoeTechnician licensed engineer or not?

Jim, Hate to disagree, and I'm sure your daughter is in a fine program but a
bachelor's degree is not required in the state of NC to get your PE. I'm
glad she is pursuing her bachelors and hope my daughter pursues the same.
While I realize NC is very poor in public education, the university system
is not that shabby.

"Software Engineer" is OK, "Electronics Engineer" is OK, etc. Seeing

Way back when, at my alma mater, the guys in the various engineering
schools used to say about themselves:

"Before I got to this college, I couldn't spell engineer.
Now I are one."


I would have guessed as much based on the quality of college you most

likely attended.

My daughter is entering a Mechanical Engineering program at a prominent

Midwestern
college. Here is what they say:

Qualifications: The College of Engineering enrollment is

selective-students typically
rank in the upper 20 percent or higher of their high school graduating

class and score
an average ACT composite of 26 or higher (or SAT combined scores of 1180

or higher).
University admitted students who score an ACT Math of 24 or higher (or an

SAT Math of
560 or higher) will be enrolled directly in the College. Selection is not

determined by
numbers alone, however. Applicants will be carefully reviewed for

convincing evidence
of a student's capacity to succeed as an engineering student.

Program: 5 academic years with heavy emphasis on math, physics, materials

science,
engineering, graphics (CAD).

A friend of my daughter said the program is tougher than the pre-med

program he was in.

The admissions standards for your alma mater are obviously rock bottom.
