<p>Your daughter sounds somewhat like mine and she decided she wanted to pursue product design. For quite some time she was focused on mechanical engineering in response to advice from some alums from her high school who are in the product design field. She did apply to a number of mechE programs this year but also found what she saw as a perfect option at Cornell called Design and Environmental Analysis and will be starting as a freshman there in the fall. Her concentration will be in Human Ergonomics but there are a few different options. </p>
