<p>How are Brown’s engineering departments? Do they send students to top grad programs and do they get lots of job offers?</p>
<p>The people who I knew who went through Brown engineering were very happy. Brown is heavily recruiting for more engineers.</p>
<p>According to the Brown website: “In recent years, about half of the graduating EE class went directly to work as electrical engineers, typically with well-known corporations (IBM, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Intel, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, etc.), but also in smaller and start-up companies (Spectra Science, Annapolis Microsystems, C-Cube, Pixelworks). The rest split roughly evenly between graduate school and other opportunities (from medical school to management consulting at companies such as Goldman Sachs and Accenture, to government service in the military or government research labs); those bound for graduate school typically go to research institutions like Princeton, MIT, Stanford and Berkeley with fellowship support (and some like Brown so much, they stay for a fifth-year M.Sc. program).”</p>
<p>I’m sure that if you’ll land a good job if you get an engineering degree. I would suggest that instead of focusing on the future (i.e., what happens after graduating), you look at what you’ll learn and be doing when you’re in college.</p>
