<p>hi im currently a senior and am trying to decide where I should go next year. Im going to major in Chemical engineering and I was admitted to the honors program at nu with a good amount of money and I was just curious about the strength of the chemE program there. Are there a lot of research opportunities for undergrads? I know the coop program is outstanding but do u feel that you still learn the majority of the "stuff" in the classroom?(i dont want it to be just based on the coop in terms of learning) Also does the cheme program have a good placement rate after graduation? I really liked the school when i visited, and i definitely want to be on the cheme car team if i decide to enroll there. im also considering the engineering programs at uiuc georgia tech and university of michigan. Id prefer if chemE students or alumni respond to this or any other student who has any knowledge on this topic. tks in advance.</p>
<p>no one wants to answer???</p>
<p>I don’t know of any current students on here who are chemical engineering majors, sorry.</p>
<p>I have this exact same question. Also, if any one knows, how good would Northeasten be at getting ChemE students into good grad schools?</p>
<p>What you learn on co-op are not the kind’s of things you learn in courses. That said, any program worth its salt is going to provide a sufficient level of academic instruction (I don’t know anything about the ChemE program specifically, sorry). The co-op is not meant to be a substitute for traditional classroom education, it’s meant to compliment it, and to prepare a student for facets of their field that can’t easily be expressed in the classroom.</p>
