<p>Currently head mechanical engineer for a fuel cell prototype car at my school. I will be the Head Engineer overseeing all aspects of the project next year. We are the only educational institute in CT that is building anything like this. (this includes UCONN).</p>

<p>I'm also doing a solo project where I plan on installing GE Watt Stations which are electric car charging stations. We will be the first high school to do this if this project proceeds as planned.</p>

<p>Major:
Mechanical Engineer
Minor:
Aeronautical Engineer</p>

<p>Which engineering school is more selective TCNJ or Rutgers? Does either one have a clear edge in reputation?</p>

4

<p>stevens institute of technology beats them both</p>

<p>If I would have asked about Stevens that would have been very helpful.</p>

<p>I would say that TCNJ is more selective, but Rutgers has a better reputation. That’s because TCNJ is a smaller liberal arts school while Rutgers is a large state university. I guess it would depend on what you were looking for a school, but for engineering I would definitely go for Rutgers. It sounds like you have a strong engineering background and I would think Rutgers has so many more opportunities and projects to work on as it’s so much bigger.</p>

<p>My son is a senior mechanical/aerospace major at Rutgers. He is currently doing some research partially funded by NASA. If you go to Rutgers, I would encourage you to look into the Slade Scholar Program, which allows you to partner with a professor to conduct research. He also received a great job offer back in September, so it’s been nice not to have to worry about that for his senior year. Overall, Rutgers was an excellent choice for him.</p>
