<p>What Daddio3 said about CMU’s comp/electrical engineering vs NU’s materials/industrial engineering is true. Anyways, if your S values, perhaps, a more diverse education (as its pretty easy to double major, minor, etc. at NU due to the quarter system), then NU would probably suit him better. If your son is completely set solely on engineering, then CMU might be the better option. Again, it depends on which field of engineering he intends to major in.</p>
<p>You can’t go wrong with either school. Visit both schools, pick which one you like best. </p>
