<p>I am a current student in a prosthetics/orthotics BS program. As part of the program, after we finish the BS portion we go on to grad school and earn a Masters of Science in Industrial Engineering with a concentration in Materials Science and Engineering Management of Orthotics and Prosthetics, MSIE-MSEMOP. This is a brand new program starting next year at FSU because of the higher requirements of being certified as a prosthetist/orthotist. </p>
<p>My question is… Will that specialization on the MSIE degree prevent me from using it for employment in any other field other than Prosthetics and Orthotics. For instance if I want to switch careers later in life to something that requires an industrial engineering degree will I be able to? Does the potential employer technically have to “see” the specialization or can they just be presented the MSIE degree? </p>
<p>Also, does the MS degree supersede the need for a undergrad degree in engineering or will employers only hire someone who has both an undergrad and graduate degree in engineering?</p>
<p>Sorry for the lengthy post and thank you in advance to those who reply.</p>
