[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could see you put in lots of effort. However, there are many errors, especially the 0% that you put in were all wrong.[/quote]

The 0%s are saying the LACs have no Engineering majors.  This is not an error.[/quote]

I’m one of the huge LAC boosters.   Virtually no LACs have engineering majors. Off the top of my head, Mudd is the only one I would send my kid to. Maybe Smith for a girl. Also would not be my first choice for CS.   LACs are small and do what they do very well. Which is pre-professional and pre- grad school.  They can’t really do that and engineering well for classes for 400-500 kids, so they don’t try.  LACs Are great because they have maybe 10 kids in most majors per class, so the kids get a lot of attention and opportunities. That’s just not the way engineering education works. Or CS, which I tend to pair with engineering. But I wouldn’t send a kid to Harvard for engineering or CS either.  Michigan, yes.  Cal Tech. Yes. MIT. Yes. Harvard engineering?  Not where they shine. A kid with the credentials to get in can get a much more impressive education to other engineers). [/quote]
