[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more LACs need to strengthen in engineering and CS in order to rise in popularity. Harvey Mudd is well positioned to rise. And other STEM-oriented LACs like Carleton. Swarthmore too. Wes is also strong in STEM.[/quote] Way too behind. Starting a school in engineering right now is completely useless- you can never have enough faculty for specialities nor get the research funding/grants that top universities and state schools have. Both mudd and swarthmore hardly have that many engineering majors compared to cs or math. LACs have a niche, and that niche is served well. For every lac, you run the issue that there a finite amount of lab space and research funding you can spend on STEM. [/quote] Harvey Mudd's claim to fame is engineering, and 30% of their class per year is majoring in engineering. [/quote]
