<p>I agree with both of you, JHS and zapfino, an actual engineering major for the university is not coming anytime soon, and that universities do not need to have pre-professionalism such as engineering to make it “full” university.</p>
<p>I am just saying that science/engineering is becoming a more integral part of this university now, with the creation of CCiST (Chicago Careers in Science and Technology) Autumn quarter and now an eventual engineering school.</p>
<p>This type of information is just important for prospective students to know when they are making their decisions this April about whether or not to attend this school, I feel that the option of engineering could definitely sway some students towards to the U of C.</p>
