<p>How does engineering at University of Rochester compare to Purdue or Rose Hulman? Specifically, how is the mechanical engineering department? Is there a place to see where students intern, find jobs upon graduation, or go to grad school in this major? I know optics and biomedical are big at Rochester; how are the other engineering areas?</p>
<p>The American Society for Engineering Education always posts great data: [University</a> of Rochester - 2009](<a href=“http://profiles.asee.org/profiles/4394/screen/1?school_name=University+of+Rochester]University”>http://profiles.asee.org/profiles/4394/screen/1?school_name=University+of+Rochester) </p>
<p>If you want to get direct answers, I always encourage prospective students to contact their department of interest: [Mechanical</a> Engineering - University of Rochester](<a href=“http://www.me.rochester.edu/]Mechanical”>http://www.me.rochester.edu/) </p>
