[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BC’s offering is Human Centered Engineering, which is offered by Arts and Sciences. It’s certainly not a general engineering program. And it’s not human factors. Wake offers a general engineering degree (similar to JMU). Probably most similar to Mechanical.

I’d suggest looking elsewhere. Maybe [b]Tennessee? ODU?[/b] For really small schools, check out [b]Elizabethtown[/b] in PA.[/quote]
These recommendations are a tad random and aren't remotely similar to OP's current schools of interest. Silly.

The schools that OP is considering are mid-sized, nationally recognizable private universities, that are selective but not T20-hard to get into, with some kind of engineering.

Lehigh fits that criteria. Maybe University of Rochester (if you can handle the cold) is an idea.  [/quote]This is misleading at best. The OP has not listed any of those criteria. You are mind reading.

The OP has provided two schools that their kid has some interest in. The OP has expressed some concern about untraditional engineering and is seeking a less intense environment.

So what are schools that offer traditional engineering options and meanwhile are lower intensity? Bonus, I guess, if you can find a private of similar size to Wake or BC?[/quote]

Yes, I worked with the information OP provided.  I think it would be a very large challenge to find a student applying to Wake, BC, and Elizabethtown.  ODU is a great school for the right student, but unlikely to be attractive to a student with stats that are competitive for BC and Wake and a vague interest in engineering.

Tennessee is more in the ballpark, but a much different vibe from Wake a BC socially.[/quote]
