Took my DS2 to Rutgers Day yesterday. He had a chance to look at their engineering labs and talked with the students doing the various demos of things they’re learning in their research labs. We came away very impressed. DS2 is only a freshman, and so it was a great way for him to be exposed to the different fields and have some ideas of what kinds of things to look for on visits to other universities. He has already asked to go to Maryland Day next year! Told kid that UMD Engrg is not a safety for OOS, but he is a realistic goal to aim for. We will be visiting some reach schools too here and there , but that won’t be the main focus.
