My DD is a junior and wants to study mechanical engineering with a track in aerospace, if possible. We live in a state with a top public university with an excellent ME/Aero program. However, the program is cutthroat and very, very large. We recently completed a college tour which included CMU and Brown. She felt much more comfortable on those campuses than she did at her state school as both seemed very collaborative, with a preference for Brown. CMU was impressive, but the vibe was extremely STEM without much diversity in personalities, as far as we could see. She definitely preferred the varying personality types and academic interests at Brown. That said, are there any other programs with good ME or Aero programs with a similar campus feel to Brown? She would like a mid-size school (5000+ undergraduate students) and she does NOT want a mostly Engineering/Tech school such as MIT or RPI. Any suggestions of where to look?
