I have a choice of pursuing Masters in Science V.S Second Bachelors in Engineering. What should I do?

I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on this as well

I guess there aren't alot of people right now who can answer this. Too Early right now!

a master's degree is almost always superior to a second bachelor's

[Edited on November 6, 2008 at 5:23 AM. Reason : but strictly speaking it depends on the majors involved and your career goals]

MA

Also you don't want to be too specialized because that can backfire later on if you end up not liking what you are doing.

this thread is relevant to my interests.

that all depends on what you plan on doing with your educatiom

I'd recommend going for the MS instead of another BS. The MS doesn't even have to be in the same field as your BS, just as long as you meet some general guidelines.

I went to school with several people who were working on their MS in EE but had undergrad degrees in ME or ChemE.

NO


What's your BS in? More than likely a MS will be more valuable, unless you were in a shittard BS program

go for the ms

comming from a guy with two engineering degrees.

when i hired on, it became inconsequential, where as i think i'd have hired on a pay grade higher with an MS if i came to the same company.

I have a B.S in Botany

11/6/2008 8:33:34 AM

MS unless it was ridiculously easy to get that 2nd BS a la the CPE/ECE one semester deal

11/6/2008 8:35:31 AM

MS.

Perhaps the OP would have been smart enough to list the fields so we could give better advice.

Well, my engineering program isn't accredited yet. But, they are going to get accreditation soon. So, I have the option of attending for Engineering or M.S in biochem, bio, botany etc.

^^ shit... i didn't read that!

^ what engineering do you want to do... you still haven't told us?

you can do an M.S. in biomedical engineering or an M.S. in bioengineering or an M.S. in tissue engineering with your B.S. of course, if you want to do some traditional engineering discipline, you will have to take some physics, math, and basic engneering courses before you could pursue an M.S.

MS

Are there any unemployed biomedical engineers?

11/7/2008 11:35:42 AM

not a single one.

11/7/2008 12:06:23 PM

probably

I think they're all low paid interns.
