<p>GT is nice with a fantastic co-op program. If you want to gain real-world experience through co-op, it’s a great school for that. I also second Olin…very hands-on. </p>
<p>I’d suggest you to take a look at Northwestern also. It’s ranked #11 by USN, I believe. So it’s ranked as high as MIT but at the undergrad level, NU provides something unique and to me, a curriculum superior to those in number of schools ranked above it because it’s not captured in rankings. The program has “Engineering First” and programs/courses with strong design/entrepreneurial focus. It’s a hybrid of Olin’s appraoch and traditional approach. On top of that, it got one of the best co-op programs, just like GT.</p>
