<p>Are there any other guys on this board that plan on going to UTK next year for ECE? Word is in they plan to complete a brand new 150,000sqft building just for the ECE guys in 2010. These guys also have very strong connections with Oak Ridge National Laboratory for possible internships and jobs. </p>
<p>So my question is this, any UT CE,ECE, or CS alumni here? Any stories or suggestions for a freshman entering next year?</p>
<p>The New building is for Electrical Eng., Comp Eng. and Computer Science. It is almost completed and is going to be extremely nice. The CEO of Garmin is a UT grad and donated all the money for the building which will be named after him. It will be the first LEED certified building on campus. I’m a senior in Civil at UT and they broke ground on a new Civil building a couple of weeks ago. UT is an incredible place to go to school. Knoxville is a great town and I could not imagine going anywhere else for school.</p>
<p>ah cool man! Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>spazbite41, are you getting any job prospects? From what I’ve seen, the economy for CivE’s is dead. I’ve been scouring Monster.com, CareerBuilder, USAJobs, etc, and there are more jobs asking for +5 years experience in the field already. I’m mainly curious. What’s your senior design? I was a project manager for Water and WW Systems.</p>
<p>I will be a freshman at UTK next year and was wondering if the biomedical engineering program is any good?</p>
