Good evening CC,
I just had a question that I wanted to run past some other engineering students/alumni. Is there any significant advantage to getting a(n) (engineering) degree in 3 years as opposed to for. I am attending MSU in the fall to study computer engineering and when I look at my degree requirements, I am going to have completed 67 of the 128 required credits by the end of my freshman year. I got the credits through AP tests and transfer credits so I was wondering if I should make a plan to get the remaining 61 credits in 2 years (on average about 15 credits for 4 semesters) or take my time with my degree requirements and take non major courses that interest me/would be beneficial skills to have and give me an additional year to getting internship/research experience. Would the cost of 2 additional semesters be worth this?
Also as the title suggests, is there any advantage to getting my degree in 3 years? Will future employers see me as more capable than other applicants if I got my degree in shorter time? Or will they assume I have less experience/bs'ed my way though my degree.
