I'm looking at schools in Minnesota for an engineering degree. What are some of the top colleges in the state for engineering? I'm really keen to hear some student perspectives if possible!
Sure, I'd be happy to help you out! Minnesota boasts a few excellent colleges with strong engineering programs. Here are three to consider:
1. University of Minnesota Twin Cities: This is notably one of the top public universities in the nation with an excellent College of Science and Engineering. You'll find a variety of engineering concentrations, from chemical engineering to computer engineering and many others.
2. Minnesota State University Mankato: This university offers ABET-accredited degree programs in a few engineering fields, including civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering.
3. St. Thomas University: St. Thomas has a School of Engineering that offers several undergraduate and graduate programs. One of their unique features is a senior design clinic where you work on real-world engineering problems.
From these options, you can choose which college fits your needs best in terms of location, size, cost, and the specific engineering program you are interested in. It's always a good idea to visit the campuses physically or virtually and try to connect with current students or alumni to get an idea of the student experience. You may find that what one student values in an engineering program may be different than what's important to you. Enjoy your college search!
