<p>While I dont have stats for you, I believe that it is true that not many who plan to do the 3+2 end up doing it. Agree with those above who said that there are many opportunities to attend small schools and get an engineering degree. They may or may not be the best choice or are best known for their engineering (eg Swarthmore, Tufts, Dartmouth, Princeton) but they are great schools and your child will get a f\great education. Swat has a small engineering program and is planning an upgrade of their facilities. </p>
<p>My s’s both have engineering degrees from small-midsized schools (not tech schools) and both finished in 4 years. Good luck to you and your son!</p>
