It not just engineering. It's finance, supply chain, operations, fundraising. Many different components. Read the article.

Do they even have basic engineering classes? Like nova community college level pre engineering classes?
Yes they have an engineering physics program and an applied science department. There's an intro to engineering class and a material science class

I thought W&M was the school you attend if you want to major in poetry or womens studies. How does this happen?

Yes. Absolutely.
And yet I imagine how that W&M has R1 status more and more grants and programs pass over ODU for W&M

True it's just interesting its the singular US school selected vs a jumbo research university
The school needs to stay relevant

VT must be livid as the top engineering program in the state, although little or no presence in tidewater.
That noted, W&M does have a MUCH better international reputation than ODU.
Maybe W&M will leverage this to add engineering. It would be a good addition.
UVA is definitely upset because they cut a deal with the federal government and aren't getting special treatment

I work for a manufacturer that is prime and physical distance is no consideration. However, an engineering department would be a consideration so your point stands.

GDEB in CT is the prime and yale is 49 miles away
NN is the subcontractor and W&M is 200 miles away
this is purely political.
The academic home should be at Yale or UConn

St John’s College would have been perfect. They also have no engineering dept!

Weird
It should be UConn or Yale partnering with the coast guard academy
CT (yes VA does as well) builds boomers and UConn and Yale have engineering departments.
Yale-UConn-USCGA joint academic center would've been ideal
