[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be aware that engineering anywhere is ‘hard’.[/quote] Yes. ABET certification means that any ABET program will be rigorous. Programs can be more collaborative or more cutthroat. Schools can provide more support or be more sink or swim. Sometimes, the ones with support (I'd put Mudd in this group) feel harder because taking advantage of study sessions and extra conferences is hard work. I think people here like to pander in ranking/tiering gossip. I have a kid in engineering at a school that some people dismiss because it's not mit or a big state school, but the engr work there has been far more involved than a friend's at a state school known for engr. I just suspect that my kid's program has more layers, so less sink or swim. [/quote]
