I've seen this topic brought up a few times, but I need some clarification and advice. Probably in stupid question territory, but insight is needed.
How do the Marine Engineering Systems and Marine Engineering/Shipyard Management majors compare? I've looked online at the curriculum, and they seem very similar to someone who is not an engineer.
Both seem to allow for Professional Engineering licensing. Are they equal in terms of licensing? Would they both be allowed to be PE licensed engineers in the same field? I'm guessing the field would be Marine Engineering?
I've heard that the MES major is much harder. Why is this the case? I've also heard that the Capstone Project is almost impossible/ridiculously hard. Anyone know why? Both of these majors seem so similar, yet I've seen where MES is significantly much harder. Is MES better for engineering grad school? If not, then these majors seem so similar, it seems that the majoring in Marine Engineering/Shipyard Management would allow for the same opportunities as MES after graduating KP, but with a more manageable challenge while at KP. I think I've even seen where people talked about that Marine Engineering/Shipyard Management is one of the easier majors in general.
How true is this? Anybody here have experience with taking the FE exam or PE exam and getting jobs with them after graduation? Do both majors allow for a solid "hands on" engineering experience combined with academic work?
