On the ABET site, there are four accredited programs: Indiana State, Ferris State, UMN Mankato and Austin Peay. Does anyone have any experience with any of these programs, good or bad, or any perspective on job opportunities for these majors? My son is a HS junior and is interested in AET. He's about 3.0, no scores yet but likely 1050 or so. He's looked at Mechanical Engineering Technology but is leaning towards AET because it's solely automotive, which is where his interests lie.
UMN Mankato would be too far away (we're in NJ) and I would be concerned about Austin Peay not being near the automotive industry (as far as I know).
I would appreciate feedback. I am aware of the differences between engineering technology and pure engineering. Engineering technology aligns better with his interests and abilities so please no arguments there. Thank you!!
