I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. My father is a professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia SEAS. I talked to him specifically about this thread. He said that there was a pull for students to go to wall street because there is a strong demand for engineering students to work in finances. This is why Columbia has such a strong financial engineering department and why it sends so many students to those types of jobs. The other departments, however, do not train their students to work better with finances. On the track I plan on taking, I only saw one required course that involved the entrepreneurship of my field.
I don't mean to accuse, but for the people saying that Columbia SEAS students are less likely to have actual engineering jobs, have you taken classes at both schools to compare and spoken personally with the chairmen of the departments and professors to really see whether or not they teach for engineering or finances?
