(look for NYU-Poly)

I have given this speech before on someone else trying to decide on NYU engineering and so here it goes for you… lol hope you find it informative!!

Here is the facts about NYU-Poly, being a school of NYU will add more prestige to the school. Plus for EE you will be expected to research, develop, design, test and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, specializing in power generation, transmission, and distribution, communications, and electrical equipment manufacturing, are all skills which will be taught at Poly. NYU-Poly students are well prepared for a career in engineering. One in every twenty engineers in the US are NYU-Poly grads. And because the faculty provides real world experience (believe me I toured NYU Poly and their intro to engineering course is very tough- building robots ) and demand a high standard of excellence, making Poly students among the most sought after you professionals upon graduation (They have a lot of really good companies that come there- Bechtel, The Bronx Zoo, ExxonMobil, GlaxoKlineSmith, Google, IBM, Johnson Controls, Lincoln Laboratories, Lockheed Martin, Merck, MTA, NASA, Northrop Grumman, Parsons Brinkerhoff, Pfizer, Wyeth, and the list goes on and on and on…) they have relationships with corporations and government agencies like NASA of which 3 NYU-Poly grads were astronauts, to help recruit engineers into jobs! Plus faculty and students have had nobel peace prize winner, a wolf prize winner, and other unique distinctions. I know this because I toured poly and I am going to pick it over my other choices, especially since I want a job right after school (pay off loans, maybe grad school who knows). (Its also the second oldest private engineering institution in the country)… The i2e philosophy allows for anything to happen with your education whether you want to be in research or start your own business with an invention you created. Chose NYU-Poly- it will be an awesome experience and with NYC right there, there are immense possibilities! Now, its up to you to choose!
