Engineering at Harvard?

@chercheur

I would not select Harvard for engineering. There are so many other colleges that are great engineering schools.

The worst decision to give someone wanting to major in Engineering. I would have to disagree with you on that. If someone graduated from Harvard University in Engineering and they are applying for a position you are not going to hire them than?

Harvard is not especially well known for engineering. That said, it is not worth worrying about until you are accepted.

The same I would have to disagree with you. Everything at an ivy league college is good. I don’t care if Harvard’s Engineering program is not ABET accredited. There is a reason that Harvard don’t accredit there engineering programs. One reason is because they don’t want ABET to tell Harvard how to teach not because the engineering programs in Harvard is not eligible for accreditation. I don’t care what the other threads say, also. I wouldn’t question the engineering program in Harvard.

Bottom line; I wouldn’t rule out engineering at Harvard, although there is a school both down the street and down the river that would be better for engineering. I’d just keep my options open.

That would be the correct attitude to approach things. Harvard Engineering is not bad.

I would think this question might be answered better on the engineering forum on CC. Those people tend to be in the trenches and would know.
