It's a total lie, or funding priorities don't align, that our state's engineering school/our state/our country wants to promote STEM, especially engineering.

HS STEM teacher. Judging from what I see on my end, they don't admit only the best of the best. They admit good students in general. A few are great. Some are terrible at STEM (but they may not be aiming for science or engineering--at least I hope they're not).

"HS STEM teacher," you realize there is an entire College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences at VT, right? Not to mention several other colleges that have nothing to do with engineering or STEM? Good grief.

That says a lot about VT engineering program itself.
