I think both my kids at RPI would be the first to say going there was the best decision they could have made. Both are very hard workers by nature so they adapted easily to RPI and do well. My son has done undergrad research since sophomore year and my freshman daughter has a small research project.

We heard the “get the sage off the stage” during the RPI Medal tours and the accepted students day tours. I think the guy who spear headed the movement at RPI may have been hired away by NSF or some other federal agency to spread the movement. They get CAD and hands on projects early enough in the curriculum that it makes them more suitable for summer jobs or co-op sooner. There’s also lots of team projects.

Good luck!
