[quote=Anonymous]So I grew up  in NC and lived there until around 2000. I had no idea Wake had engineering. i see it was introduced in 2017 with the first grads in 2021. That's why i had no idea, as I was long gone by then.

It's a general engineering degree, which is what JMU offers. Students can elect to get different concentrations. Just know that a BSEE is going to be more impressive than a BSE, concentration in EE. Same for ME, Biomed, Civil. There's no Aero at all. Chem & Materials are lumped together.

I wasn't impressed with the general courses as part of the Wake engineering degree. Only 1 semester of physics is required. Then students decide if 1 semester of chem, 1 more of physics, or 1 of biology.  I would expect at least 2 semesters of physics and 1 of chemistry at a minimum. 2 semesters of chem for Civil & Chem Es, also add in a semester of biology for the BMEs.

Of course, Wake will have great alumni connections, etc. But when the student is applying for the job, they can't honestly say "Yes, I have a BSME".
