Hey all! I'm trying to figure out which schools in Wisconsin are best for pursuing a bachelor's degree in engineering. I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience or knowledge about the engineering programs there.
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some suggestions. First is the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which has a renowned College of Engineering. This College offers a variety of engineering programs, including but not limited to, civil engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
The Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) is another solid choice. It has a strong focus on experiential learning and a higher-than-average job placement rate for its engineering graduates. It offers programs in areas like computer, biomedical, and mechanical engineering.
Marquette University in Milwaukee also offers a variety of engineering programs. It has a strong emphasis on ethics and service to the community, which permeates its engineering programs.
Finally, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's College of Engineering & Applied Science is an urban, public, research, and R1 (doctoral universities – very high research activity) institution. Its alumni have gone on to hold leadership positions in companies like Medtronic, Rockwell Automation, John Deere, etc.
Keep in mind, though, that the "best" school can vary greatly depending on individual needs and goals. Factors like size, location, campus culture, and even things like research opportunities or co-op programs can all be important components of choosing the right engineering program.
