re#106: what I am saying is that contrary to subsequent objections #59 is substantially correct IMO.
I think the molecular biology stuff is engineering. Of a sorts.
Financial engineering is too. In both cases they have little to do with the established fields of conventional engineering at which MIT excels, across the board. A school that just has these does not compare to MIT, in the sense of post #59. Where the poster said " I agree that it is decidedly not the case for technical majors MIT is world famous for." The poster is correct.
That’s all I meant . I gave my opinion I am not debating it.
