[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm a graduate of a liberal arts college, and a big fan of them, but I have to respond to this comment with a note of caution. My son considered doing this kind of program and every engineer he consulted advised against it. Engineering isn't just about what you do in the classroom, but about research opportunities, engineering competitions, etc. Students in these combo programs can find their opportunities to participate in these activities are quite limited. My son ended up going to a research university, though not one that focuses exclusively on STEM subjects. He had a terrific experience, largely due to his participation in co-curricular engineering activities. When he interviewed for jobs, prospective employers asked in-depth questions about these activities, but never talked about his transcript or classroom learning experiences. [/quote] NP. This is really helpful information - thank you for sharing it.[/quote]
