And as a parent, or an employer or a voting member for the ABET standards you can certainly make that choice. I believe that if the graduating engineer meets the ABET requirements then the market place will limit yours (and my) exposure to bad engineers designing products that we depend on. I don’t believe colleges will graduate “dumbed” downed engineers and I doubt employers will hire people that can’t do the job. </p>
<p>Do you think that engineering must have a high failure rate to be a good program? Do you believe that offering a lot of support to engineering students hurts their educational process?</p>
