[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does a non-engineering parent determine a quality engineering program if the student cannot get into the top ranked programs? Do they exist?
Look at ranking websites? Which ones?[/quote]

[b]The ranking websites ignore rigor. Quality is subjective any day of the week. [/b]

When I am hiring engineers (or cS grads), I am happy to hire anyone with a mix of As and Bs from at least any of these VA engineering programs (GMU, ODU, UVA, VCU, VT) and also from either UMCP or UMBC --PROVIDED they took the more rigorous electives on offer in their chosen specific degree.

In my experience all of those programs have good grad school options also.

I don't have time or space to outline elective examples for all degrees. As EE examples, EE upper-level electives in E&M Fields, Digital Communications, Logic Programming (Verilog, VHDL), and real-time (or embedded) systems would be a few of the courses I consider rigorous. [/quote]

Absolutely not true for the Top 5 or so.  They are all rigorous up there.[/quote]
