re: Engineering peeps, is there a negative perception towards a B.A. vs a B.S degree?

“Data Engineer” is not an engineer. In fact in many states including Louisiana you cannot advertise providing Engineering services or consulting unless you have a License to which there is no Data Engineer license.

It's probably borne out of how federal jobs are listed. They used to require a BS as opposed to a BA for some roles 20 years ago. Considering the kind of crap you can get a BS in, it makes about as much sense as FedGov does.
This is probably the gist of it. Scientist vs Specialist in the job title.

Most states have an industrial exemption for needing an engineering license. If you work directly for a manufacturer, you don’t need a license to provide certain services (in most cases, but not everything).
A 3rd party firm providing those same services would need a PE license. Why most engineers working in industry don’t have PE’s. Folks in Civil and Environmental will due to submitting documents to the government.

yes...
Not taking higher math (calculus) limits the scope and depth of what can be taught in the other subjects.... (thermodynamics, heat transfer, physics, dynamics)

my oldest daughter got a BA in Chemistry. not sure the diff between it and BS. she went on to get a masters in math, which evidently was a breeze for her (as was the BA) I don't think the BA scared any employers off.

It’s more important that you are skilled, competent, and reliable.
Yes, but when applying for a new role at new company, they don't know how skilled you are. All they have is a piece of paper resume to judge you. So I think BA can have an effect vs BS. Unless the company is familiar with you that you are applying to, then all they have upfront is a 1 page resume to judge.
