<p>Which school would have a greater chance of getting a job in a big company for engineering(mech or aero) right after graduation? I’m worried about the debt. I got accepted to WPI, RIT, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Stony, and Northeastern. I got waitlisted from RPI.</p>
<p>What is the current demand for mech or aero engineers? Supply/Demand matters. If there are much more job openings than the schools can produce…you can attend “SUNY at Niagara on the Lake” and still get hired at a big company.</p>
<p>EDIT: Ignore this post… I hit reply instead of creating a thread. This is not my day.</p>
<p>The school where employers go looking for Mech/Aero engineers the most. I don’t think it a good idea to base future career prospects on future (uncertain) demand. I would advise to follow the market closely. It would suck to major in a “hot” field and then graduate 4 years later into a dead field.</p>
<p>Engineering graduates work in all fields after graduation. We retain some specialization with our fields but our degree doesn’t have to correlate with our job title.</p>
<p>Aero engineers can design ships, civil engineers can design airplanes, mechanical engineers can design nuclear power plants, etc.</p>
<p>You don’t need to worry about graduting with a engineering degree and have it be useless in 4 years. Philosophy majors and art history majors need to worry that.</p>
