[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA has aerospace. I have a kid at UVA Engineering and he knows of students who are graduating in May who have already landed jobs at Blue Origin and NASA.[/quote]

How UVA compares to Purdue in this major and employment outcome? Considering Purdue ends up being $5k less[/quote]

DP.  There is no comparison at all.  UVA doesn't rank in aerospace engineering and is waaaay down the list for general engineering.  All of the other choices on this list would be better than UVA.

US News is irrelevant for many fields, including for engineering. ABET means that ranking and prestige do not matter as much for engineering as most other fields. [/quote]

You are a broken record. And you are still wrong every time.[/quote]

You all are confounding different posters, which I suppose is an unavoidable risk on an anonymous forum.

I pointed out that US News is mostly irrelevant and I am a hiring manager for engineers, so I have first-hand experience working with engineers from a wide range of US universities and even a few engineers from non-US universities.  However, I am NOT the poster whose student went to UVa for AeroE.  Sorry that your suppositions are wrong.

I think the word you’re looking for is conflating.
