<p>Generally, big corporations come to big engineering schools for talent. Now that excludes MIT because that is just in a league of its own. But like LSU for example, you have a career fair and you have 300 different companies that are looking for engineers. Alot has to do with geographic location. I mean LSU obviously has every oil company known to man, because that is what makes up the economy in this area. As will texas and other oil producing states. I guess recruiting has alot to do with where you live. I mean here is a list of companies that are large contributors to the school.</p>

<p>Now that by no means represents the entirety of the recruiting program, that is just the companies who are top donators. They get excellent returns in recruiting. But generally you have to have an ID and log in to see the full list, which is quite insane to say the least. It is crazy how many companies are looking for engineers these days.</p>
