[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U. Mich has an excellent engineering program, but I am baffled about why one would apply to an expensive OOS university for an undergrad engineering degree.

UMCP and VT have excellent engineering programs. UMBC, UVA, and several other VA publics also have very solid engineering programs.

[b]And yes, I am an engineer, so I know that virtually all engineering programs are similarly rigorous, thanks to ABET. I also know that engineering "rankings" do not correlate with on the job knowledge or effectiveness. [/b][/quote]

Well from my experience you are very much wrong. Michigan is a Top Engineering Public along with Georgia Tech and Berkely and their graduates are highly coveted.  You can continue to go up the list. I would take an engineering grad from one of these schools mentioned any day of the week.  First, I know they are some of the brightest because you are not getting into these schools unless you are.  I also find their graduates are extremely well educated and trained.  So please stop.[/quote]
