[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They're a stupid idea.  If your kid wants to be an engineer, they should go to a school for engineering.[/b]  Don't go to a school that doesn't offer your intended major.  These programs have all the downsides of transferring school including having to find a new friend group, losing out on connections for internships and building relationships with faculty, missing opportunities for engineering design teams and undergrad research, and paying for an extra year.

The only time they make any sense at all is if a kid is already attending the liberal arts school and then they decide they want to be an engineer.  But that's a situation where the kid chose the wrong school from the get go and is using the program to change direction.[/quote]

Yep.. Here's a novel concept... If your kid wants to be an Engineer and get the best engineering education to prepare them to be the best engineer, have them try to gain acceptance to the best engineering schools.  I know crazy right?[/quote]
