[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a student that has experience with these programs ? Considering it for our DC current junior. Pros/ cons? TIA! [/quote]

DC considered it as a back up plan because they wanted smallish classes, Engineering cohort of 300-1000 per year, under 15k undergrads. They used top LACs with 3-2 programs and Dartmouth(4+1) as a backup. Luckily got into many top 4yr engineering programs and is currently at an ivy.  Now that they understand the main career paths for access to top engineering jobs, they understand that a physics major at a LAC then straight to engineering masters or phd is completely possible and acceptable, and allows one to stay at the same undergrad for 4 years. The mid-level 80k start/100k top-out engineer jobs, with no room for moving up to R&D or management without going back to school, are not what anyone at their ivy want. BSE alone and no plan for eventual phD or MSE or MBA is not common unless someone already has a startup idea and is working on VC during undergrad.[/quote]
