[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd look for schools where he will be amongst other engineering majors, rather than schools that are less STEM focused. It's easier to find a study group and be immersed in engineering when you are with peers. Instead of discussing politics or social issues over dinner, kids will race to calculate the rate of flow through a straw or build the tallest tower with the fewest cafeteria cups. Fun weekend activities including a pumpkin chucking contest where floors built contraptions to throw pumpkins the farthest or building stadium seating for the dorm lounge so the whole floor can fit to watch a movie. Engineering becomes part of daily life. Look for schools with engineering teams, like mini Baja, solar car, concrete canoe or snow mobile challenge teams. There will be a robust engineering culture at these schools. Clarkson, RPI, and Rose-Hulman all fit this category. [/quote] Excellent advice.[/quote]
