[quote=Anonymous]It can be really helpful to go to an engineering school with a culture of group work and collaboration. This can be a big school or a small school, but having a good study group makes a huge difference. Engineering classes are hard and you want to be able to work collaboratively to learn the material. I taught at UCLA and the engineering students really struggled because they were so dispersed amongst liberal studies majors that they didn't find each other. It's also hard to be the one studying on a Thursday night when all of your English-major friends are going drinking. I'm so sure all schools are so disaggregated, but I really felt bad for those engineering students. Lots dropped out of the program. You also want a school with professors who have office hours that are open to students and TAs who speak good English. I'd look at Clarkson University, RPI and Case Western. [/quote]
