[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No school in US News top 10 has a weak engineering program. The weakest is Yale and they're not terrible.[/quote] Chicago does not have any traditional engineering program to speak of. The do have a school of Molecular Engineering, but that's really applied physics and chemistry/biology (i.e. you have to take quantum mechanics as part of the program). There is no engineering school. They are "old school" in still thinking of undergrad education as (in the words of longtime president Robert Hutchins): [i]"Education is not to teach men facts, theories, or laws; it is not to reform them, or amuse them, or to make them expert technicians in any field; it is to teach them to think, to think straight if possible; but to think always for themselves."[/i] Opinions vary on the UChicago Kool-Aid, but most who there really do still believe this.
