<p>True…Buildings and *added faculty *are a start, but the difference is starting to become negligible - especially since Bama has more money than Auburn. </p>
<p>BTW…saying “it’s a start” may be misleading. Bama didn’t just start having Engineering. Alabama’s engineering program is actually older than Auburn’s. In 1837, Bama became one of the first five universities in the United States to offer engineering. Currently, the College of Engineering has 100 faculty members. <a href=“http://www.eng.ua.edu/[/url]”>http://www.eng.ua.edu/</a></p>
<p>Also…UAHuntsville is an unsung hero in Alabama in regards to engineering. I expect to see more aggressive recruiting from UAH in the near future to fill those new dorms they jut built.</p>
