I have a couple of questions if anyone with knowledge could help me out. (I 1st posted this in the parent forum before realizing I could post it here)
1. It looks like resources are much better for engineering students, at least at the graduate level, at many big state schools. I've been told by a college professor at a state school that kids in his graduate programs that were educated at small privates, like Bucknell, are less prepared for graduate work than the kids coming from undergraduate work at many of the big state schools with strong engineering programs (think, Georgia Tech, University of Maryland, Penn State). Can anyone speak to this?
2. Is it harder to get a job right out of an undergraduate engineering program at schools like Bucknell, Lafayette, WPI, RPI than it is to get a job right out of school from a place like University of Maryland, Georgia Tech, Purdue, Virginia Tech or University of Illinois? I realize this may be very school specific, but if anyone could speak to this concern, I sure would appreciate your constructive contribution.
Thank you in advance!
