<p>But they won’t have the possibility of engineering, and if a student in April uses the prospect of molecular engineering as any factor in their decision to go, they’re going to be miserable and disappointed, because it will not be an option for them before they graduate. You seem to not have a sense of the time-scale that this is on. The building won’t be built for a while, it’ll take longer for it to start with research, and even longer for it to become an undergraduate major. And notice that the only engineering field mentioned has little-to-nothing in common with “standard” engineering fields, such as mechanical, chemical and electrical. This is intentional. Expecting UChicago to get a real engineering school is like expecting Caltech to get an art school.</p>
<p>It would be a good idea for you to edit/delete the first paragraph of your original post. None of the information in it is true, and it will probably confuse people.</p>
