[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academically, for jobs after graduating, or for grad school admissions, either is fine provided the desired degree is offered.

Rankings for engineering programs do not mean much, unlike for some other fields, because ABET sets a high floor (minimum).

Look into the rate for students who start in engineering that graduate with an engineering degree. A good graduation rate for engineering would be 90+%. If it is much below 90%, then it probably has [b]weed out classes designed to shrink the number of engineering students before start of junior year. [/b]

If both have graduation rates of 90+%, then pick "best fit" for your DC. Different kids will have different "best fit" schools (college town vs urban, weather, %Greek, and whatever else).

This is bunk. Colleges are not [i]trying[/i] to make kids drop out.

Engineering itself is tough and will naturally weed out kids who aren’t prepared and/or willing to do the work. This happens less at top schools like Cornell or Penn.
