[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]

Lehigh seems to me like a fit with BC and Wake. Similar size and ranking, especially compared to Wake. And Lehigh offers a more traditional engineering program.

My understanding is that Lehigh’s school culture is more social/sporty than some of the more engineering-focused schools. True?[/quote]
