Hey kids, want to be an engineer when you grow up?

No, not that kind. The one that builds bridges and stuff.
Well if you are going to the University of Illinois the guy to talk to is the world’s foremost self-appointed expert in higher education accreditation, stalker George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Dana Gollin).
WTF? What kind of advice can an engineering major get from a guy who co-teaches freshman fine arts classes? Let's see...
Always? Everywhere? You mean like the way UCLA grad school '"always" accepts those prior learning, test out TESC, COSC and Excelsior RA degrees??
Oooooops, the "expert" misses another one. Just the kind of guy you want advising engineers. "This bridge always stands up everywhere." Except when it collapses into a pile of twisted wreckage. Sounds like Gollum is well on his way to fucking up in yet another discipline. Definitely stay off bridges and away from tall buildings engineered by Gollum's students.
Coming soon to an interstate near you! Gollum does for engineering what he has done for higher education accreditation:

Quote:The general requirement for admission for a U.S. student is a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution, comparable in standard and content to a bachelor's degree from the University of California. A scholastic average of B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better is required--or its equivalent if the letter grade system is not used--for the last 60 semester units or last 90 quarter units of undergraduate study and in any post-baccalaureate study.http://www.gdnet.ucla.edu/gasaa/admissions/CRITERIA.HTM
Degrees which are not considered comparable include those granted on the basis of work completed at institutions which are not fully accredited and those granted on the basis of nonacademic prior learning, test scores, or other than organized supervised coursework in academic subjects.
