[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many mid-size universities offer ABET-accredited engineering.[/quote]

This!!!  DOn't do a LA college without a true engineering dept---the 3+2 or 2+3 programs are not ideal and often hard to get into.  Your kid will want to spend 4 years at the same university, not go elsewhere for Junior + years.

There are many 5-8K sized schools with engineering schools, that are not Strictly engineering schools.  So you have options to explore more than just STEM

Almost all engineers from our kid’s LAC that doesn’t offer engineering majored in physics or chem, spent all 4 years there, then went straight into a MS or PhD engineering program.  The 3-2 program is more appropriate if you need a state’s professional engineer license, which as an earlier post mentioned most fields don’t (civil engineering being the biggest exception.)[/quote]

Re the 3-2 programs. Research carefully. My iwn SLAC says it offers such a program but in reality it's just on paper.[/quote]
