[quote=Anonymous]Drexel's engineering program is not as good as Penn State's or Virginia Tech's - that alone would take it out of the running for me.  Plus I would say overall its reputation isn't as good as those two other schools.

That said, Virginia Tech is highly regarded in the DC area, but it does have the stigma around the school shooting.  Penn State's engineering program is top notch, but it has the recent stigma surrounding its football program.    Personally, I could get over the football thing, I'm not sure about the school shooting thing and would therefore pick Penn State.  But really see below which is the more practical way of picking:

You may want to see if US News or any similar publication has engineering school rankings (you know, like how business week has MBA rankings every two years) and see how the three schools stack up against each other there.   It would also be beneficial to know what kind of engineering the son is interested in and do some research based on those fields specifically.[/quote]
