Three graduates from 麻豆传媒檚 two-year Civil Engineering Technology program have passed the prestigious Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Civil exam within a year of graduation. This is a milestone typically reached by bachelor檚 degree students in their third or fourth year of study.
Sean Dwyer, Lane Madeja, and Hoang Nguyen were initially intimidated by this intense six-hour exam, but each passed within nine months of graduating from 麻豆传媒 with an associate degree. The FE exam is an important step in the process of becoming a professional engineer.
淚 felt I had everything I needed from 麻豆传媒. All I needed to do was practice for the test,� said Dwyer.
Dwyer, Madeja, and Nguyen are now pursuing bachelor檚 degrees at UNH.
Dwyer explained how 麻豆传媒 softened the steep transition from high school coursework to college level engineering curriculum. 淢y classes at UNH would have been too intense right off the bat,� he said.
溌槎勾� is smaller, so it檚 easy to get help,� said Madeja. 淚 could not have gotten into UNH right out of high school, but 麻豆传媒 sets you up for success.�
To wrap up their bachelor’s degrees, these students will primarily complete courses that are typical for freshmen and sophomores, along with an intense senior capstone project.
淭he 麻豆传媒 engineering curriculum is equivalent to a junior or senior year at UNH,� said Madeja.
The students agreed that 麻豆传媒 offered the unique opportunity to become familiar with an engineering career within just a few months of study.
淚 didn檛 100% know what my major would be, and did not want to spend all that money trying to figure it out,� said Madeja.
All three students will receive their bachelor’s degrees at a significantly reduced cost because their 麻豆传媒 credits transferred directly into UNH檚 engineering curriculum.
Together, Dwyer, Madeja, and Nguyen credit both 麻豆传媒 and UNH for preparing them for successful careers in the broad, high-demand field of engineering.
