[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some good engineering schools that I haven't seen mentioned here (and I've only skimmed the thread, so I've probably missed some of them) are Colorado School of Mines, RPI, Rose-Hulman, Embry-Riddle, Carnegie Mellon, Harvey Mudd, Olin, Northeastern, and Georgia Tech.

Engineering is more of a meritocracy than some other fields. You don't have to go to a top school to be a top engineer. You need a good engineering brain, a knack for your field, and a strong interest.

While one doesn’t have to go to a top engineering program to be a top engineer, that logic doesn’t make top engineering schools one par with weaker schools. It’s just means some engineers are good that didn’t go to top schools. They are not mutually exclusive. This is the same as any field.

Of course companies recruit from the top engineering schools. These companies do not have recruiting events at every school - only the top engineering schools that they know regularly produce great engineers. [/quote]
