<p>If he were to attend CMU, would CIT or Tepper be his primary school? I ask because if he is in CIT, given that there is no Industrial Engineering major, the majority of his coursework in CIT will really be focused on the technical aspect of whatever his primary major is - be it ECE, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, or Materials. I’m assuming at CMU he would be trying to do a double major - so pretty much all of his elective space would be doing Tepper courses, I presume (I don’t know much about Tepper, just CIT really), which would obviously be more business focused. However, if he’s really interested mostly in the Industrial Engineering and Business side of things, it seems like a lot of his time at CMU might be devoted to intense coursework in an engineering discipline he isn’t as interested in? </p>
<p>Tepper might be a better fit in some ways, but that might lack the focus on manufacturing, etc.</p>
<p>CMU is a great school, and both Tepper and CIT are very, very strong, but if I’m clear on his interest, may or may not be the best fit.</p>
