Hey guys!! Okay, so a friend of mine is wanting to go into either Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. I'd like to give him some information on CLEP, distance learning, etc, but he's from Canada. He's moving here to the States in the near future and I'm pretty sure he wants to get his degree from a US school.
I know next to nothing about Canada and how their education works and I also don't know very much about engineering. What things should he be looking into and paying attention to? Are there any colleges that are known for good engineering programs that accept transfer credit and have lower tuition? He doesn't want a lot of debt so I'm thinking CLEP would be great for him. Should I have him look into one of the Big 3? Does he need a Bachelor's or would an Associate's suffice?
I also don't know what college credits he has (if any) so I know that's not much help. I might be able to find out from him if that would help. I'm basically looking for ideas on where to get him started. I'm not sure where to start. :/
I'm looking for any suggestions!! Thanks you guys!!
