[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It amazes me why so many ivies and elite schools are bad at STEM or Engineering.

Duke, Brown, Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard, Chicago collectively suck at engineering or some/all aspects of STEM.[/quote]

Uh no. Look up the research of faculty, the grants, the private corporate partnerships, the talent of “even” lowly grad students and postdocs. Stem is chem math physics and engineering. The top universities dominate in that. You cannot teach “top” stem at the appropriate intellectual pace for truly top students at schools where the average stem student is not close to the top 2% nationally (ie highly gifted). Top stem teaching is at the schools with top-talent undergraduates. Ask professors at NC State vs Duke. It is a world of difference in how the classes are taught, breadth and depth. Top tech companies recruit almost exclusively at elite universities in stem which includes many but not all of the ivies, plus MIT stanford CMU Berkeley Duke UChicago Northwestern . Same with phD tracking. [/quote]
