My S went to Michigan Tech, which I definitely would put into the as I call it a more nurturing way of teaching engineers. When he went there, it had an average of a 26 ACT. They were very welcoming and had many programs to make sure they were successful educating those kids.

<p>However, MTU still has attrition out of engineering:

<p>Frosh/soph level math/physics/chemistry courses are inherently “weeders” to some extent, since the rigor and content need to meet minimum standards so that instructors teaching more advanced courses won’t complain about unprepared students.</p>
