Hello! My son is interested in an engineering major (not sure exactly which one yet), and we are thinking about adding Alabama to our visit schedule. So engineering students and parents, tell me what you like and don’t like about the engineering programs at Alabama. We have several family members who have graduated from Alabama, so we know a good bit about the school generally, but none of those family members majored in engineering. He has a 3.7 UW GPA and 32 ACT, so I know we would get a great scholarship package, but I would like to know why your student chose Alabama for engineering and whether you feel the program has lived up to your expectations. As a point of reference, he is looking at other Southern schools that traditionally have been known as primarily engineering schools (Virginia Tech, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Texas A&M, North Carolina State).
