DP here.

You might be shocked to know that many engineers did not graduate from TJ.  Hard to believe, isn't it?  And, some engineers actually lead a balanced life.  I know this for a fact.  I am married to one.  Masters from what is widely considered the top engineering school in the country.

Engineering schools tend to be overwhelmingly male and the majority of students are white and asian.  The PP said that her daughter wants to be an engineer.  TJ is just a sample of what her future college experience and workplace will be like along with what the workload is like in engineering school.

I'm an engineer myself and while I didn't attend TJ, I attended a top engineering school that the average person doesn't know by name, but other engineers highly respect.  Top engineering schools, have some "normal" people, and a lot of shall we say, unusual and colourful people. Yes there are engineers who live a balanced life, and quite a few who are incredibly passionate about their work and never leave the campus they work at.  [/quote]
