r/FAU

Hey everyone! I’m considering transferring to FAU for Mechanical Engineering and wanted to hear from current students or recent grads about the program.
How do you guys like the MechE program overall? How are the professors, classes, workload, and internship/job opportunities? I’d also love to know how difficult the program is and whether you feel like FAU does a good job preparing you for a career after graduation.
Any advice or things you wish you knew before starting would really help. Thank you!!

i’m freaking out. i missed my fau in person orientation and thought that i could simply do an online orientation instead. i got an email telling me i had to register for either the 13th or the 20th. it was too late to register for the 13th when I read the email. I asked for confirmation that I had to attend, and they told me yes and that they could schedule me for the 20th if i reply to the email. I did. However, the website says the 20th is only for out of state students. i’m in state. there are no other dates. what if i can’t attend and get dropped from my classes??? i’m worried that they don’t know im in state.

I just got dropped from my fall classes because I could not maintain a C or higher in my classes. I was enrolled in Music Appreciation (in-person) and Criminal Justice (online), but the latter I fumbled terribly. In the email I got, the associate dean said I could earn 30 credits at another institution before I could return to FAU by the fall. I’m in the process of responding to the dean, advisors, anyone I can to fix this problem, but I guess I just wanted advice here too

Counselor (girl) at my kids' summer camp goes to FAU. I want to send her a gift card because she was really good. Someone point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Hey you guys I just graduated and I bought my cap and gown and now not sure what to do with it? Is there a way to donate it or something so it doesn’t just sit in my closet? What do you usually do with yours after you graduate?

I filed for it August 5, it is still showing as pending, how long does this take approximately??
