[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you seen both? The facilities for engineering are night and day to me, with Michigan being far superior. Lots of other things to consider but engineering facilities are not close[/quote]

Michigan has nearly 10K engineering students.  UVA is a little over 1K.

So, at UVa, E students will be a name not a number, while at U Mich E students will be a number not a name.[/quote]

Nope, at UVa also a (4 digit) number [/quote]

Not in the UVa E School.  Been there, done that.  Faculty in the student’s department at UVa SEAS nearly always will actually know their students on sight.[/quote]

That’s cute.  All things being equal I’d prefer the program with better faculty, resources, research opportunities, and reputation.   I don’t need to know EVERYONE on the faculty or for them to recognize me to get a superior education.     [/quote]

There is more than one way to do things and, particularly at the undergraduate level, bigger is not always better.  Look at median earnings in different areas of engineering for undergraduates (from College Scorecard):

Aerospace:  UM $113,025; UVA $93,485
Biomedical:  UVA $94,692; UM $85,471
Chemical:  UVA $115,895; UM $100,000
Civil:  UVA $95,518; UM $88,870
Computer:  UVA $139,318; UM $123,120
Electrical:  UVA $114,299; UM $109,107
Mechanical:  UM $101,514; UVA $91,262
