Hhhmmm…says that applications closed and notification begins in July. I’m assuming deadlines have passed or perhaps it’s for sophomores.
I would send an email to the above address and ask
Because the state of Alabama is home to the 2nd largest research park in the nation, Cummings Research Park…

1 Huntsville, AL
Engineers per 1,000 employees: 60.771
Mean engineering salary: $102,766.07
Median gross rent: $725
Which cities offer engineers the greatest combined opportunities and compensation?
To determine the best cities for engineers, personal finance site NerdWallet looked at 350 of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., analyzing the size of the engineering industry therein using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as annual mean salary for engineers, and media gross rent.
“All 20 locations have larger engineering industries than the national average of 12 engineers for every 1,000 employees,” states the report. “Engineers in 13 of our top 20 places earn more than the national mean engineering salary, which is $92,170, and 14 places have lower median rents than the average U.S. metro area, which is $905 per month.”
Many of these cities are concentrated in warmer climes. Six of the top 10 and 11 of the top 20 cities on this ranking are in the south, with northern locales in Michigan, Ohio, and Washington also joining the top 10.
At the top of the list is ”The Rocket City” Huntsville, Alabama. The city is home to a NASA flight center and an Army arsenal, and scores big with the trifecta of a high concentration of engineers, a high average salary of $102,766.07, and low median gross rent of $725 per month.
https://twitter.com/bamaengineering/status/584072540303323136/photo/1 This twitter page has a number of interesting facts and figures about UA’s College of Engineering and shows progress over time, as well as comparisons between UA freshman engineers and the overall freshman class at UA. Can someone explain why the avg. ACT for the overall freshman class of 2014 is listed here as 26.7, while it was reported to be 26.2 last Fall? Didn’t know that statistical adjustments changed data that much. But maybe this higher number represents the avg for those who did not drop out during or after first semester?
I saw that. My question is what percentage took the ACT and turned those scores in? So it’s not representative of whole class?
http://oira.ua.edu/d/content/reports/2014-2015-common-data-set According to the data at this link, 76% of all freshman who enrolled, reported the ACT, and 23% reported the SAT.
https://twitter.com/bamaengineering/status/584072540303323136/photo/1 Does anyone know how to make the image shown above bigger so that the information is easier to see? Kinda strange that UA Engineering would put out such an interesting but hard to read image.
I can click on the image above which opens it in another window on my computer, then I can just resize the image.
But I still don’t see how to resize the image once it opens in another window, unless I save it as Paint file.
@atlanta68 I am sure someone here can give you a more sophisticated way to do this but I just opened the image in another window and then just pinched pulled the image to make it larger. My computer is currently running the newest version of Windows. Again, maybe someone has a better way.
On Chrome browser, click on the chart. It should open in a new window. Go to the top right of the page and look for the little box with 3 parallel horizontal lines. Click on it, and go down a little and increase the ZOOM. I’m using Windows 7 on a Desktop computer.
Then again, the quality isn’t all that good when you enlarge it!
^^^That’s the problem I’m having–once I blow it up big enough, the text becomes too distorted to read. And that’s while wearing my brand-new, $600 trifocals!

To zoom using the keyboard shortcut: Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys simultaneously and press +. To zoom out, Ctrl and -.
^^^I did that and the resolution just wasn’t high enough to make out some of the smallest text when zoomed in.
I rec’d a JPG this via email from the Engineering department. Send me a PM and I can email it to you. I don’t know how to attach a JPG in a comment.
Not sure you can attached anything here. I know they don’t even like links.
