@modernmomclaire, my son’s GC really encouraged him to apply to Union because he think’s it a real gem for the rare student looking for engineering in an LAC environment. Fiske Guide (my family’s go-to resource for the college search process) says their mechanical engineering department is one of the school’s standouts.

If you look at the school’s most recent common data set, you can see how many students graduate from each department within the college. Last year it looks like 10% of the class graduated with an engineering degree (~50 students). Assuming that’s representative of the school overall, it sounds like there are about 200 kids in engineering. This doesn’t include computer & information sciences (1%), BTW.
