<p>During the Swanson Engineering School presentation at the Accepted Honors Students Day, a few things really stood out.</p>
<p>They have a huge network of companies that offer coops and internships. These companies are located nationwide, as well as worldwide. Several students talked about their coop experiences. About 50% of the engineering students do this.</p>
<p>There are a large array of study abroad programs specifically tailored for engineering students. They really advocate this to make students more competitive in the work force.</p>
<p>Research is strongly encouraged, and there are many opportunities to participate.</p>
<p>Even though our older D is in Swanson (she transferred in Sophomore year), and she is having a rewarding experience, we couldn’t help but be even more impressed with the engineering department after this presentation.</p>
