When I got my first job, I noticed that a lot of other engineers that went to Texas A&M, or even prairie view for that matter, had a lot of experience with programs such as ANSYS and actually learned how to use a mill and lathe in their undergraduate studies. The only thing I learned at UH was Matlab, and I never saw it again. Their respective universities also really helped in helping them pursue co-op opportunities and internships, something which UH seems to have a "could care less" attitude unless your GPA is close to a 4.0 or something. Mine was a 2.74, not bad, but not great either, so no experience. I talk to guys that graduated from PVAMU with a 2.5 that got internships. What great experienced they gained!!! I felt very lost at my first job compared to other graduates from other universities, even Lamar University. I would STRONGLY suggest looking at other universities. Remember, an ME degree from UH does not compare with one from UT or TAMU systems. I found that out the hard way. |
