<p>Make sure the school has ABET accreditation.</p>
<p>Do you have a geographic preference? Will you need financial aid? Do you want urban/rural/suburban? How large a school?</p>
<p>There are tons of variables for engineering schools beyond the courses (which are fairly standard for ABET accredited schools). </p>
<p>As all here know…DD got her engineering degree at Santa Clara University. We feel it’s a hidden gem because it does not appear on the USNews rankings for universities or LACs…it’s a “masters university”. DH who is an engineer felt that DD’s program of study was excellent.</p>
