Engineering/Science at LMU

<p>Curious about student and/or parent perspectives of the engineering programs at LMU, either what you know or what you have heard. Anything about the professors, how rigorous a curriculum and the lab/engineering facilities would be great. If you know, how does it compare to the powerhouses like UCLA, USC, etc. I know Harvey Mudd and Caltech are in their own league, but does LMU offer a strong enough engineering program that prepares you for the real world (i.e., job market)?</p>

<p>Still looking for any comments on the science programs at LMU, particularly engineering. I know they are small but does anyone have any input on them per previous post? Thanks for taking time if you do!</p>

<p>Daughter just graduated Civil Environmental last year, she was also an athlete and in her senior year she worked for local company. She got a good education with professors that she actually knew as people, not just the cattle call lecuture with 100 other students. Sure a little bit bigger might be a little bit better, but she is happy and employed. Coming from an academic enviroment, I was pleased for the most part with what she relayed to me and what I’ve observed.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for reply Timmy2000. I was trying to get insight into the professors and if the personal attention made up to some extent, for the size. There is a trade off no matter where you go. Sounds like she is doing well, congrats, and thanks again.</p>

<p>@timmy2000 If you are back around or anyone else that would like to throw in 2 cents…how were the LMU jobfairs/recruiting events? Do you feel like LMU has connections for job placement? Do good firms and a number of them come to campus recruiting for engineering? Does their career center do more than show you how to make a resume?</p>
