<p>As others have stated, a good engineering education is worth getting in and of itself, and Princeton's faculty and student body certainly make it a great place to get one. But since so many have bought up employers, here's a list of employers who showed up to Princeton's smaller Engineering-only job fair in the fall:</p>
<p>Now, I haven't had the chance to compare the firms here with those who drop by other schools, but certainly it shows that Princeton attracts some big name engineering companies.</p>
<p>Since someone mentioned "alumni connections", I'd like to point out that that while the sheer size of Princeton's engineering cannot reasonably be expected to match that of Penn State, Princetonians have indeed ended up some high places of tech/engineering shops: Jeff Bezos founded Amazon, Meg Whitman is CEO of eBay, Eric Schmidt is CEO of Google, Lockheed Martin was headed by Norm Augustine, and the McDonnells have had a large Princeton contingent.</p>
<p>In other words, don't be scared into thinking that you won't have post-graduation opportunities.</p>
