[quote=Anonymous]I have looked closely at some “Engineering” programs at JMU and Randolph Macon. JMU is mostly mechanical engineering with a few classes in environmental engineering (normally an option in Civil Engineering). Randolph Macon is mechanical engineering. The PE exam is passed most easily by mechanical engineers. MEs are well positioned because they get it all, most notably some electronics, some fluids, some mechanics and dynamics, and some thermodynamics. Someone with one of these “Engineering” degrees should be able to work or go to graduate school in fields such as mechanical and maybe materials science. It might be possible to go into another engineering discipline, but this seems like a bigger ask. For example, mechanical engineers might take quickly to stress, strain, and truss design in civil engineering, but would probably be lost (and likely not that interested) in transportation and traffic engineering, or soils engineering.[/quote]
