[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t relate experience with my DD (who is in nursing school), but here is my suggested strategy.

Keep in mind that not all universities with engineering will necessarily offer a broad selection of engineering majors. For example you might see a university that offers Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil. Nice majors for sure, but kids may change their mind and maybe Chemical, Biomedical, Aerospace, Industrial, Mining, or Materials piques their interest. So I tend to favor universities with schools of engineering with a good number of departments.

I would look to our land grant schools as archetypes. They will tend to have very comprehensive offerings. Some not too far from DMV that might be a bit less pressure cooker -ish would be

Penn State
Clemson 
University of Tennessee
University of Kentucky
Rutgers

Etc.[/quote] This sounds like advices from a well meaning parent who is not an engineer and who has never even met an engineer.  I'd disregard.    [/quote]I’m certainly well meaning, and I studied engineering for 7 years at Virginia Tech, leaving as a PhD candidate when I ran out of steam. Curious to know what it is about my suggestion that is so off putting.[/quote]
