<p>There seems to be a strong connection between the ocean engineering consentration of MEch at URI and MIT and Woods Hole. MIT Ocean/NAME people move on to URI grad or vis versa. MIT Ocean Eng is nearly dead (total 14 undergrad), so the connection may be less useful now.</p>
<p>Mechancial Engineering</p>
<p>Freshman Women (W) 7: Men (M) 61
Sophmore W0 :M46
Junior W3:M44
Senior W6: M76
30% weedout rate Fresh to Soph
7% women (20% is an acceptable threshold)
nearly all student take 5 years</p>
<p>Ocean Engineering (ABET certified)
Freshman W 7:M30
Soph W0: M27
Junior W7: M 15
Senior W2:M 22
I have no clue what to make of these number, although the Women to men ratio at 17% seems to be close to the recommended 20% threshold.</p>
