They told me when I started about how I need to work for a year after my associate or do my bachelors in order to take my specialty boards. Which worked out great for me because it allowed me time to practice and gain experience. Plus it does look better for work when you have a bachelors. Also love how they have an open door policy with all teachers and staff it's really easy to get help when needed. Plus the teachers want to help you. I've notice that some people say they "don't teach" but they do you just need to put in the work to learn.

tl,dr: Great department. Pretty progressive. Numerous and various opportunities…read more I did MS MAE and BS ME & AE, so my review pertains more to those. Likes: - Killer design classes: Engr7A+B, MAE52, MAE106, MAE172/280, Engr165/265, 245. If YOU don't take these, I WILL regret it. - You'll need Matlab over the course of your curriculum, so MAE10 is a fundamental start. - And while you're at it, make as many friends as you can in your lower-divs. - If you take MAE115, you learn how to predict rain! - Take every class you can with Dr Edwin Hernandez. He's hilarious! - Professor Haithem Taha only teaches the hard courses, so he records his lectures for your review. Super thoughtful. Very open to questions. - MAE175 Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Vehicles (Taha) teaches the fundamentals of flight control! Ever wonder WHY ailerons and elevators work, why airplanes have had high wings or dihedral wings? 175 is for you! - Drs Marc Madou and Lawrence Kulinsky taught MAE153/253 for me. Straightforward class, great teachers! Easy credits. - They have a wind tunnel lab for you to conduct aerodynamics experiments in MAE108. - They have a professional and organized system with counselors to prepare you for success and timely graduation. - E-Week is spectacular. If only the mechanical anteater wasn't a bull. - I guarantee your job will involve design. MAE52 (SolidWorks) is a magnificent start, since they don't teach Creo or AutoCAD here. - LOVE the Engr Career Fairs. So many freebies!! Nonlikes: - Regardless whether you aced 0 or 10 AP exams, still gotta take a BUNCH of lower-divs: Math 2D, 2E, 3A, 3D, Physics 7C CL, 7D 7L, 7E, Chem 1LE. I already learned basic Newtonian mechanics and electricity and magnetism, yet they made me "re-learn" it in 7C and 7D... Wasted talent, time, MONEY. Also, I won't need to know about optics or superconductors, so they should've made Phys 7E and Chem 1LE electives. Interesting classes, but no reason to be degree requirements. - MAE200B was the epitome of useless stuff I had to take. Ruined my 4.0 GPA in order to graduate within 1 year. - You touch on numerous corners of MAE, yet your future job will only use 10% of it. As in, the upper divs (MAE130A, MAE130B, MAE146 to name a few) touch on fluid boundary layers, astronomy, HVAC, even how to predict rain! Yet my job mainly uses skills from MAE52 (transferred my SolidWorks into Creo), Engr54 and MAE150 (stress analysis and FEA), MAE120 (heat transfer). That is, I use only 5 out of the 70 classes I took to get my degrees... - UCI MAE teaches all this theory and research stuff, but does not focus on employment skills, such as using Creo Parametric, AutoCAD, and Catia, or how to manage tolerances (some materials are harder to precision machine than others). Waste! - The engr trailer computer lab before the Fuel Cell Research Center smelled musty during my college career. Hope they AC'ed and cleaned the place by now. - Parking at APS is a pain. Always crowded all the way to the roof all day everyday!

I attended the School of Engineering many years ago. Back then, it was a much smaller School. The…read moreinstructors were a bit of a mixed lot. Some of them were outstanding, but others could not communicate in the slightest. But all in all, I felt they were pretty decent. My Engineering degree from UCI gave me a big advantage in my career. It was very simple to get a job with this degree, and I have had a wonderful career.

My overall experience with TUW has been very positive. The graduate program provided me with a…read morestrong academic foundation in counseling theories, ethics, and clinical practice, while also giving me the flexibility to balance coursework with my practicum and internship training. The professors were supportive, knowledgeable, and accessible, which created a collaborative learning environment where I felt encouraged to grow both personally and professionally. I appreciated that the program emphasized cultural competence, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based practice, which I was able to apply directly to my clinical work. The integration of real-world assignments with theory allowed me to develop strong assessment, treatment planning, and intervention skills. Overall, my graduate school experience has prepared me well for the responsibilities of an MFT/PCC Associate.

I hope you find the following comical as it is ridiculous. I applied to this school to pursue an…read moreMFT degree in CA. I'm an attorney seeking a mid-life career change for health reasons. I just needed an efficient and flexible way to meet licensing requirements and prestige or name recognition wasn't that important to me because I already have that on my resume. I was accepted and spoke to an enrollment staff member Kim Strickler. I had only two conversations with her. During those conversations, she (1) said things like, "I answered your question," when I asked for clarification because she *hadn't* answered my question; (2) interrupted me repeatedly, and, when I asked her to allow me to finish speaking, interrupted me *four more times* in quick succession; (3) told me that my questions were "unhelpful, unproductive, inefficient," and that I was "fixating" on things; and (4) proceeded to repeated *no less than six times* her opinion that my questions were unhelpful, unproductive, and inefficient and would not stop repeating that until I started recording the call, which is when she finally hung up. Oh, before it got really bad, I asked her to transfer me to someone else or have someone else talk to me. She refused multiple times. She also said there wasn't anyone else I could talk to, said there was no way to file a grievance or escalate this matter. She also said more than once that she was the head of "this entire department," in order to intimidate me into not complaining. She obviously knew she wasn't behaving well, lol. I found the appropriate grievance escalation channel on my own (because there obviously is one), and sent a written complaint. The school's response was, in summary, "Kim did everything professionally. We think your threat to file a complaint was escalating. This matter is closed." I have the emails, if anyone's interested. Classic "avoid liability and accountability," which I guess isn't surprising but it is disappointing. They also included a veiled threat to sic their lawyers on me, supposedly because my signature block included the name of my law firm, which doesn't make sense since all of my correspondence has my firm in the signature block. That part made me laugh. I'm single-handedly prosecuting my family's claims against Mercury Insurance for bad faith conduct after the Eaton fires. I'm not afraid of some online university no one's even heard of. That said, I can't associate myself with a university whose management level staff can't emulate basic maturity... Anonymity is OK; embarrassing and infantile is not. I withdrew immediately and will be seeking a doctoral degree at ********** instead. Looking forward to it very much. Happy to discuss if you are interested in ways to protect yourself if you run into this issue and have to talk to Kim. Hopefully you've never encountered someone who is this defensive, threatened by anyone who doesn't cower from her, obsessed with dominance and control even if it means acting like a 6-year-old having a full blown tantrum, dismissive and then accusatory when that doesn't work, unable to respect reasonable boundaries whatsoever, and absolutely allergic to accountability, which is in turn reinforced by the institution. I know a few people like this, but usually they are men. Not everyone has a lot of options, I understand, and you might be stuck with TUW. Let me know if you'd like advice on this. Happy to discuss and share info.

My experience taking a graduate degree in TESOL at Anaheim University was the highlight of my…read moreacademic career. I felt so privileged to learn from the best in the field of second language acquisition. My professors challenged and supported me, and they continue to be a professional resource long after graduation. Some of my favorite memories of Anaheim are from the residentials, where we met our professors and classmates, collaborated in valuable study groups, and shared wonderful social time. Anaheim's culture of academic rigor and professionalism, together with its professor accessibility, make it my most valuable post-secondary institution.

For the price, and the time it takes, its worth it…read more Some of features of the school could use some major updating, you begin to realize that the school is far from being code compliant. Most of the teachers are nice, and knowledgeable. Some teachers are more eager than others, but thats life. Teachers that stand out to me, so far, are Cynthia, Don, Linda, and Mat. I havent had classes with many other teachers yet to say what everyone is like. Make sure you work out a schedule that allows you to space out the heavier loaded classes (not always just studios) with some of the easier ones. You don't want to be stuck with all studios in the end. Schedule and class availability changes every quarter, so dont waste time planning your whole degree out quarter by quarter, because it wont happen that way. Just as an fyi for those looking into the AA program. The certificate program isn't designed to prepare you for what the AA program, or any of the programs, bring. The work load is much heavier and ALL of the drafting aspects change. The assignments are fun and engaging, and a lot of work. I've got 9mos left... Will update again when I graduate.

I've completed the welding program and currently a plumbing student here. The instructors that work…read morehere and pretty straightforward with the students. Now, the instructor that said to not come to this school, was never a good instructor. Majority of the time from when I saw him, he was sitting in the office or trying to chop it up with the students. There's a lot more to it as well, which former students would say the same thing. He was never teaching. Instructors would come and go due to never motivating/teaching the students or even caring. Those instructors never even tried to build rapport with the students. Those instructors were the cancer to the school. I'm glad they don't work there anymore The staff now are always working, teaching and motivating. Moving forward, they're very informative and a lot of hands on work. The instructors encourage you to look for helper jobs to start getting the idea of what these jobs are like. They don't beat around the bush, they don't lie to you about how you're doing. They give you their honest opinion and show you how to correct it. I recommend this school. I started here knowing nothing about welding and now I am a welder. You will receive a certificate of completion of the school. Like I said. I am a plumbing student now and I've learned a lot from Jimmy. He also explained to us that he came from different trades. Very knowledgeable man, knows what he's doing and talking about. Zach is the night instructor from when I started and still works there as well. Also a very knowledgeable person and with a welding degree. I enjoyed and learned my first time around and I came back. I understand others had their own experiences and opinions. Take a look, take a tour of the school. Maybe you too will have a great experience like I had.

My honest review of A&E Career Institute…read more The program is only about one month long and costs around $2,500. When I first contacted admissions, I was told there would be a discount if I paid cash upfront, but when I went to pay, the front desk lady seemed confused and told me she had never heard of it. That was my first concern regarding communication. The $2,500 tuition included the uniform, BLS, online access to some of the school's materials, Live Scan, and exam processing fees. However, students are responsible for purchasing many of their own study materials. The state exam is also separate and costs around $200. I was also told that we would not receive our BLS cards until the entire class had paid for theirs, which I personally did not feel was fair. The program is very fast paced, and in my experience, students are mostly given the information they need to study on their own. There isn't much actual teaching or guidance. If you need a structured classroom environment with an instructor who teaches and reviews the material with you and actually teaches during school hours, I would keep that in mind before enrolling. My biggest frustration was with the skills lab and the condition of some of the equipment. Most of the equipment is old and does not work. For example, the beds they do not raise to waist level, which is a specific requirement for the majority of your skills and very important requirement. We were specifically told not to turn on or use the sink in the skills room because the plumbing was not working. Because of this, we were instructed to verbalize that portion of the skill instead. During my first state skills exam, I followed what we had been taught and verbalized the skill rather than actually using the sink. Unfortunately, I was marked incorrect and failed my first attempt. Thankfully, I passed on my second attempt because I knew what to expect. I do take accountability for not double checking the testing requirements myself, but I believe this situation could have been avoided if the skills lab had functioning equipment and students were able to practice the skills the way they would actually be tested. The school is flexible and willing to work with students when asked, which I did appreciate. Overall, I believe the school could greatly improve by investing more into the facility, equipment, study materials, and hands-on instruction. I want to emphasize that there is no materials that are being provided by the school. Everything you need for studying or practicing you need to purchase on your own. This is simply my honest experience, and I am not trying to scare anyone away from attending this school. I read the previous reviews before enrolling and decided to give the school a chance, but after my own experience, I do wish I had considered other options more carefully because I was thinking they must be exaggerating, but In my opinion, when you are paying for an education, you should receive the proper instruction, materials, and resources needed to succeed. If you are someone who is comfortable studying independently with limited guidance and resources, this program may work for you. I am not trying to bash the school in any way I am simply sharing my honest experience so prospective students can make an informed decision. I also believe professionalism is important, and seeing some of the school's responses to students who shared negative experiences came across to me as defensive rather than professional. I personally believe students should be able to share their experiences without feeling like they are being criticized for doing so.
