| Chris Simpson Engineers His Future By Greta Petry (November 12, 2007)
Simpson, who aspires to become a mechanical engineer, entered UAlbany's unique 3+2 Engineering Program in the spring of his freshman year. Through the program, he'll study at UAlbany for three years and then two at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, just across the Hudson River in Troy, N.Y., and emerge with two bachelor's degrees, one in physics from UAlbany and another in engineering from Rensselaer.
"The program is challenging, but we find that disciplined and motivated students handle it well," said physics professor Ariel Caticha, Simpson's 3+2 adviser. "Several graduates say that they found our program extremely valuable because it brought a richer perspective to their engineering and physics in terms of real-world experience." UAlbany's 3+2 P rogram, which is also open to chemistry majors, is also available with Clarkson University, SUNY at New Paltz, and Binghamton University.
