Engineering Design

<p>Okay, so i was doing some research on majors and came across Engineering Design here:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/majors/majorBasics.asp?majorID=94%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/majors/majorBasics.asp?majorID=94&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It is essentially a perfect match for what i want to do in college, and a much more specfic fit than Mechanical Engineering or Industrial Design majors i have been looking into. The problem is I can't find any colleges that offer Engineering Design. </p>

<p>What schools offer Engineering Design or something like it?
what other majors should I look into that are like Engineering Design?</p>

<p>Be careful with majoring in a major that nobody's heard of... It might present a problem with employers not really knowing what you're capable of doing, when it comes time to find a job. A lot of people I know had some trouble with their degrees in the relatively new field of architectural engineering.</p>

<p>What I suggest doing is checking out the sorts of <em>jobs</em> that you'd like to have eventually, and see what sorts of paths the people currently working in those jobs took.</p>

<p>If you can find an engineering design program that fits well, more power to you, just be aware of the potential problems.</p>

<p>That being said... take a look at Harvey Mudd. Their engineering program is pretty innovative, and it's well-known in the industry. It's fairly difficult to get into, but their grads are well-trained and get phenomenal jobs. Definitely worth a look.</p>

<p>it's probably a major that few small schools have to attract students. i dont understand how design can be a major itself. if you dont have the right knowledge, how are you going to design?</p>
