UPenn M&T program or Princeton Engineering

<p>For those who dont know the M&T program is a dual degree program in which students receive a B.S.Econ from Wharton and a B.S.E from UPenn SEAS in four years. </p>

<p>I want to stay on the engineering side
After I graduate, I want to be involved in the mechatronics/prosthesis industry (possibly with R&D or management). I might also want to get a Ph.D. in an engineering field with hopes of being involved in the same field. Basically, I wouldnt want to work in finance, investing, or anything on wallstreet. Would M&T be a better choice because it would give me more experience with the business side (management/entrepreneurship) of the engineering industry or would Princeton Engineering with some certificates be better for me? or Cornell Engineering?</p>

<p>im interested in this too</p>

<p>any advice…</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with Penn, but I am doing Princeton engineering. Are you planning on doing mechanical? </p>

<p>Princeton will prepare you for whatever you decide. We have certificates in engineering management, robotics and intelligent systems, and engineering biology that you may be interested in taking. </p>

<p>I’ve found so far that its also the things you do outside of class. Princeton has an entrepreneur’s club and we’re able to attract a lot of great businessmen to campus. I’ve met some interesting people like Bill Rasmussen(founder of ESPN). If you have an interest, the resources are here. You just have to find them. I know someone who got money to study yoga in India.</p>

<p>I can’t really advocate what’s better for you. After all, I’m just a little biased. If you have more specific questions about the program, I’ll be happy to answer you.</p>

<p>I personally would not turn down M & T. You come out with an ivy degree, and, more importantly, a Wharton degree. Many top recruiters go to m&t first; honestly, you can’t go wrong with either though.</p>
