[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Virginia, there are several public universities with solid engineering programs (at least CNU, GMU, ODU, UVA, VCU, & [b]VPI[/b]).  These vary in “prestige”.

In Maryland, at least UMCP and UMBC both have solid engineering programs.  Cybersecurity is a particular strength at both of those E schools.

Both sets above have E Schools with different “rank” and different “prestige”.  As a hiring manager, I do not care at all about prestige, but DCUM is obsessed with prestige.

Where?
Are you saying "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University?"    I have never seen it referred to as VPI before.   "Virginia Tech" "Tech" (if you are clear you are referring to Virginia schools)  or "VT"   are common names for it.   [/quote]

It has also been called VPI for 70+ years. In fact, its formal name begins "Virginia Polytechnic Institute...".

I gather you did not grow up in the Commonwealth of Virginia. [/quote]

Yes, I know the formal name is "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University,"   just like I wrote in the post you quoted.
Nope, I sure did not grow up in Virginia.
All four of my kids did, though.   The youngest is a current college freshman so I've seen all of them go through the college application process, and all of their friends, my friends' kids, and literally hundreds of their classmates and neighbors.
Your post is the first time I have ever seen it referred to as VPI.     [/quote]
