<p>Hello!
I need to make a decision in 15 days, and I am currently completely divided between U of Arkansas Mech E program and Wichita State Aero E program.
I am a transfer, from Brazil, but I currently live in Wichita. Any thoughts on these 2 programs? How good and recognized is WSU program?
Thanks for any help</p>
<p>I’ve heard that the U Ark Mech E Department head used to be at Georgia Tech. That’s obviously a plus. About all I can contribute though, not too familiar with Wichita</p>
<p>I live in Wichita too. I can speak for aero. Your in the air capital of the world. Every major plane manufacture is located here. Wichita aero grads are highly recruited. You hear in the news how many aircraft manufacturers are being laid off but there laying of support staff not engineers. They actually have a shortage here. Mechanical and aerospace engineering are completely different so it’s really what you want to do.</p>
<p>I like Wichita more than Fayetteville, for what little that’s worth. Have you visited both?</p>
<p>I visited Arkansas, and it really pleased me. It would be easier to stay in Wichita, Im just concerned about the reputation of WSU when it comes to cities outside the midwest.</p>
