Any non-killer engineering schools?

<p>I’m not the smartest, SAT math and CR @ 630. I really want to survive a mechanical engineering school. Any recommendations?</p>

<p>Go to the USNWR and look at the schools in the 15-20 range. Tulane might be a good, viable option for you. Also depends on what type of engineering you want to do.</p>

<p>there is no such thing as a “easy/non-killer” engineering school, engineering everywhere will kick you butt</p>

<p>and that poster is stupid, Tulane only has 2 engineering degrees and it’s not even ranked in the top 150 so schools for engineering, I got accepted to the University Of Pittsburgh and even though it’s ranked 51st for engineering, you are still expected to do 2 hours of preparation for each credit you take a week (most students take 16-18) so there’s no such thing as an easy way out if you want a good engineering education. </p>

<p>If you want to go to a good engineering school but be prepared to do the best you can, I’d look at Purdue, Texas A&M, Iowa State, Minnesota, NC State, Arizona State, or Colorado. These schools are in the top 50 for engineering and you can definitely get into a few of them but they have tough workloads for engineering especially Purdue.</p>

<p>Rowan University in New Jersey
Memorial University in New Foundland
Texas A&M-galveston
Florida Atlantic</p>

<p>It’s all hard work, but the students at this school will be at your level, and the school can’t flunk them all out. Use College Board to target school at your SAT level, and kiss any delusion about any school on the USNew list goodbye. There are lovely engineering schools who would love to have you-but you have probably never heard their names.</p>

<p>I agree with the recommendation of Rowan University</p>

<p>also look at Milwaukee School of Engineering and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Kettering University</p>

6

<p>SAT - wise, Case Western might be a good choice, if all your other stats are pretty good. </p>

<p>However, I understand it is pretty rigorous. As another poster mentioned, however, all engineering schools will be tough.</p>

<p>Didn’t Tulane discontinue its engineering school after Katrina?</p>

8

<p>"Tulane University
New Orleans, LA</p>

<p>Date of Next General Review: 2007 - 08
Biomedical Engineering(BS) [1981]
Chemical Engineering(BS) [1954]"</p>

<p>From ABET, the engineering accreditation board, basically biomedical and chemical are the only engineering disciplines offered</p>

9

<p>They didn’t discontinue it entirely but they did downsize it significantly.</p>

10

<p>On another thread a parent mentioned that she had been impressed with the engineers educated at Mizzou-Rolla, now know at Missouri Institute of Science and Technology.</p>

11

<p>Try Worcester Polytechnic Institute.</p>

12

<p>Ohio Northern University would seem to be a good fit. Based on your SATs you would be toward the top of their pool of candidates.</p>

13

<p>Also try the University of Dayton, Ceaderville U, Bradley U, and Valpariso U. If you are uber-religious, give Calvin a shot. Also agreed on ONU and Kettering U.</p>

<p>Also, come chance me at Small-Town Junior looking for advice and chances for big-name schools thanks! (you don’t have to)</p>

14

<p>I’ll second Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. High quality engineering program, excellent placement, not very hard to get into.</p>

15

<p>Yeah, Case Western def. has a reputation of being very tough. The students there work like bees.</p>
