I think, atlantamom, that 14 credits is quite a lot - it means that engineers typically take 2 non engineering/ nat science classes every semester but two. It is hard for me to imagine any secondary academic passion that couldn’t be quenched in 14 credits. Engineers successfully study abroad, star in plays, on sports teams, take second majors, honors minors… it is unlikely that studying engineering at any other school would allow for as rich a liberal arts experiance, while still providing a brilliant engineering education.</p>
