What do you see as the benefits of an MSOE degree?
You not only learn the theories of engineering but you also gain numerous hours of hands-on experience. While in school I worked at X-nth, an engineering consulting firm located in Milwaukee and headquartered in Orlando, Fla. I gained experience in building environmental systems while providing clients with satisfaction. My MSOE degree helped me to achieve that.
