[quote=Anonymous]Read through all 13 pages to make sure no one had mentioned these...

Son wants smaller engineering/STEM schools, so DH (who is an engineer) orchestrated a tour of his favorite small engineering schools.  We visited Colorado School of Mines, Missouri S&T, South Dakota School of Mines, and Rose-Hulman.  I rarely see Missouri S&T and South Dakota Mines mentioned so I want to give them a shout out.  Smaller schools, very low tuition, and incredible outcomes for engineers.  If your kid is willing to go to a smaller town in a red state, these are awesome programs.   And a shout out to a major I don't see mentioned very often: Materials Engineering.  The chair of the Materials Engineering department at South Dakota Mines spent two hours with us when we visited.  He toured us all over campus, let our son try out a bunch of equipment and experiments, and showed us the cutting edge research they are doing with metals.  Plus, they have 100% placement rate.

Wish DS had been interested in SD Mines or Missouri, but he has his heart set on Rose-Hulman now.  Lots of great, small, quirky schools for engineers![/quote]
