[quote=Anonymous]Some engineering programs have intentional "weed out" classes designed to fail a certain percentage of the class. A tell tale for this is whether the number of junior year students in that undergrad engineering program is visibly smaller than the number of freshman year students in that same program. Often these programs will accept some marginal students and give them a chance to succeed via hard work. Other engineering programs graduate with an engineering degree almost all the students who matriculate into that program. Same comparison of # freshman eng students to # junior eng students, except that the two numbers will be very similar. These programs often decline to admit marginal students. Neither approach is "better". They are just different. Important for the student to know what type of program they are applying to. [/quote]
