<p>Well, I had an absolutely wonderful education at UT - got my BS and MS in structural engineering there. It was not an engineering mill in the least. All the professors were very accessible, and there is a HUGE amount of research going on there. One thing to check (and I really don’t know how they compare) - how many National Academy of Engineering members are on the faculty? I just received a newsletter from the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department. On the back there is a photo of EIGHT of them who are in this department alone. Another 12 NAE members are not shown in the photo, so that’s a total of 20. Some of them are retired now, but the point is that there are a lot of world-famous people to take classes from. When I tell my colleagues who some of my professors were, they can’t believe it! I think there’s a reason this department is ranked FOURTH in the country. OK, off my soapbox!</p>
<p>“Rabbit warren engineering facilities.” Really? I have no idea what you’re referring to.</p>
