Re: College Stuff

This thread may help you get a good list of engineering colleges and universities.

List of colleges where people from the Class of 2006 applied

Haha, Ken makes a good point. Also, keep in mind that a "good engineering college" to one person, might not be for someone else.

Also, from my experience, keep an eye out for what engineering teams the school may have for various engineering competitions. These organizations are very useful, as they will give you a chance to apply what you are learning, which can really help you understand things better if you find yourself having a difficult time with a certain class.

Also, going off of what Anne said, take a look at the classes each college requires you to take for a particular major. For example. UMAINE's Mechanical Engineering program requires that we take 2 design electives. Almost all of our choices for these electives relate to thermodynamics and heat transfer, whereas at another college, they may have more electives that relate to machine design. So that is something else to watch out for.
