[quote=Anonymous]To be clear - if you do an ABET accredited engineering program, there will be lots of requirements (calculus, physics, chem, etc.) that are pretty much standard across engineering programs, that take up most of the first two years of college. Add in courses for the engineering major, and there isn't a lot of room left for courses outside engineering, math and science. So - to my mind - you do engineering or you do well rounded (courses in-depth across history, English, psychology, etc.), but hard to do both in 4 years. Dartmouth lets you add a 5th year to their engineering program; only program I know of like that. My daughter at Cornell Engineering is required to take 6 liberal arts courses. As a CS major, also take 3 specialization / application area courses (for example, linguistics). Could debate whether 9 courses yields well rounded. [/quote]
