Today we attended Admitted Honors Students Day at OSU and the Engineering presentation was, to me who knows nothing of Engineering, just really impressive. The professor clearly loves teaching and, yes OSU is a huge school but the opportunities are equally expansive. The advisors are there for the students-helping them figure out which direction they should take. They almost encouraged not deciding which major until after first year-there is a survey course that touches on the different majors. There is an Engineering Career Resource Center to help with resumes, internships and even how to present yourself at one of the job fairs they hold. There are definitely advantages to the Honors Program as well. OSU has a strong relationship with industry, he mentioned Honda in particular. Evidently my son was impressed as he is now changing his major to Engineering. I attended Dayton many years ago. I had a roommate in Engineering and she liked it but who knows now. A lot of the Engineering Majors back then were international students.
