Engineering at non-famous, non-elite LACs

[AustenNut]

Just going through the first two letters of the alphabet, these are the schools with fewer than about 3500 undergrads that I saw that offer an ABET-accredited form of some form of engineering (I excluded engineering technology).

• Abilene Christian (TX): About 3200 undergrads

• Alfred U (NY): About 1300 undergrads plus about 3300 undergrads from SUNY Alfred

• Anderson (IN): About 1100 undergrads

• Andrews (MI): About 1300 undergrads

• Azusa Pacific (CA): About 3300 undergrads

• Baldwin Wallace (OH): About 2700 undergrads

• Benedict (SC): About 1800 undergrads

• Benedictine (KS): About 2300 undergrads

• Bethel (MN): About 2600 undergrads

• Bethune-Cookman (FL): About 2700 undergrads, HBCU

• Bob Jones (SC): About 2700 undergrads

• U. of Bridgeport (CT): About 1600 undergrads

• Bryan (TN): About 1500 undergrads

Obviously, there are many more. Perhaps if I get more energy, I’ll continue to go through the alphabet.

With respect to a general engineering degree (vs. a specific form of engineering), there was a thread about it that may be helpful. Of course, I would love to hear more perspectives on the topic of this linked thread, too:

General Engineering Programs: Reputations, Outcomes, Etc

Many ABET-accredited universities are accredited in specific engineering domains, such as chemical engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, etc. Some schools, however, particularly smaller ones, are simply accredited for the category of Engineering/General Engineering/Engineering Physics and Engineering Science. What are typical career options for those with a general engineering major? Do most programs have students do a concentration within the general engineering major (i.e. mechanical vs. electrical)? Do these students usually need to go to grad school in a more specific engineering discipline? Or are these programs viewed favorably enough for students to get jobs as engineers directly out of college? Basically, I don’t know much about the general engineering major and would love to learn more.
