If you are interested look into the State University of New York Environmental Science and Forestry School at Syracuse University. Abbreviated it is S.U.N.Y. E.S.F. at Syracuse University. It is a top rated college and if you are a New York State resident the tuition is very reasonable, may be very reasonable even if you are not. Also your diploma is issued through Syracuse University. I would have to say don’t bother with the Masters Degree. Once you are in the field and get your license that is all that really matters. In my experience there is not much difference, if any, when first getting a job.
Must know CADD, your plants, and how things are built. Field experience is highly recommended. You would be amazed at the students who have no experience and when asked how they are going to build something they have designed they have no idea. They don’t understand the connection between design and actually building what they have designed. A drawing may look great but if it can’t be built it is no good.
