<p>I don’t know too much about Swat engineering, but I have friends who are in the program. It seems very good, based on what they’ve told me. If you go to Swat, then you’ll have to satisfy distribution requirements in different subjects. There aren’t that many, but some people might find that it gets in the way. Swarthmore has a general engineering major–if you want something more specific (e.g. civil engineering), then you’d probably go to grad school to specialize further.</p>
