[quote=Anonymous]Little late to the party, but I'm a current freshman engineering student at VT. While UVA does have a pretty good engineering school, hands down Tech is the way to go for engineering. It's true that Tech engineering is geared towards more of a problem-solving type learning style, while UVA is more theory based. Someone mentioned that UVA has an honors program for engineering, and I'd like to add that VT has something similar to that, called Galileo (men) and Hypatia (women), which are learning communities for engineering students. It also should be pointed out that every September, there is an engineering job/career/co-op/internship opportunity expo held at Tech. This year, over 290 companies/government organizations were there, including Exxon Mobile, Rolls Royce, GE, General Motors, Texas Instruments, SpaceX, Boeing, Honeywell, all five branches of the U.S. military, and many other well-known companies, making it the second-largest college career fair in the country. There is an extensive amount of research and co-op opportunities at Virginia Tech. In terms of academics, you can't go wrong with either UVA or VT for engineering. However, in terms of opportunities you'll have with engineering, Tech is the place to go for engineering.[/quote]
