Choosing A Mechanical Engineering Program From Glens Falls
The subject matter does not change by location: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, heat transfer, and dynamics and controls. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
