<p>That is good info to know chuy. </p>
<p>Regarding jeopardizing, yes, what I feel is they aren’t imposing a particular teaching style in order to try to trip kids up or weed them out. The material itself or the demands of learning the material will cause kids to realize that engineering may not be their cup of tea. </p>
<p>So many smart kids go into engineering bc they think it is for them. It is not for the faint of heart. Especially at schools like VT. But Tech wants those of them that are truly dedicated to being an engineer to succeed and they can, even by using that empo approach with the entry level math classes. Remember it comes a lot of support in terms of tuturing, help sessions, etc., and is short lived in terms of the number of classes required. </p>
<p>On a side note, my son has just had his whole schedule of required classes for his major overhauled. He said they do that every 5 years in order to keep up with the trends of the discipline as well as to maintain excellence in the preparation of their future graduates. I would guess that engineering does the same. If they felt this concept for the maths was not working for the majority of their admitted students, wouldn’t they change things? I would hope so. </p>
<p>Let us know what you find out about other schools, it would be interesting to see.</p>
