[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is thought of a more theoretical program with students somewhat more interested in careers paths outside of pure engineering. [/quote]

I hire engineers to do engineering. I am very happy to hire engineers from (in alphabetical order) GMU, UMBC, UMCP, UVa, VCU, VT, and from other programs.

I care deeply which upper-level in-major electives candidates took. Our work needs specific skills and there are various specialties within in any engineering degree. I also am looking to see if one took the more rigorous in-major electives for those specialties. We interview people and ask them hard questions. Some questions seek to validate knowledge. Other questions seek more to see how one reasons about difficult engineering design choices.

Attend whichever engineering program is the best fit that offers one's chosen degree. Some programs are large. Others are small. Some have higher graduation rates. Some have better co-op setups - for students who want that. Some are in urban areas, others are in suburban or rural areas. It is all fine. Take the rigorous path for your degree and your engineering specialty at whichever program is BEST FIT for you. [/quote]
