Seriously, it will make very little difference if any, in your job placement or graduate school acceptance whether you graduate from Minnesota or Wisconsin in engineering. They are very, very close and engineers are in high demand. Possibly a Minnesota graduate might prefer to hire another Minnesota graduate and a Wisconsin graduate might similarly prefer a Wisconsin graduate. I have a friend whose son graduated from Northern Arizona University in mechanical engineering. NAU is hardly an engineering powerhouse, but his son got good grades, had some good internships, and he is now working in Seattle for Boeing.
