Re: Liberal Arts Colleges as viable institutions for Engineers
Try to find a smaller technical school. I went to Michigan Tech because enrollment's right around 7k, there's lots of great programs and it's easy to get involved. In my opinion, smaller schools offer you a better chance to stand out or get into programs that have a lot of competition at bigger schools. I know that at MTU it's very easy to dual major in Electrical and Computer Engineering, they go hand in hand in just about everything. Should be about the same elsewhere...
Don't even bother with the liberal arts colleges based on your interests in majors.
Picking a school is very important. If you just graduated, it seems like something you should have taken care of by now. A lot of people I know moving on to college are starting dorm assignments already.
Technical schools = yes
Small schools = yes

Engineers make more than enough money to pay off their college loans in just a few years.
