<p>Back in my day - engineering was a big “weed 'em out” major. Some schools may also be this way.<br>
I don’t believe UNH is a weed 'em out school - my nephew had a fabulous engineering experience there, even if it took 5 years to graduate. After graduation he negotiated his job offers and got two weeks off in the winter to ski in France. It was unreal.</p>
<p>I hope you do check out UNH. They have a fantastic engineering department. Durham is a wonderful college town.<br>
OOS is quite competitive to gain admission and expensive.</p>
<p>In PA there is of course Penn State - a huge public - but a very good engineering department as well. He probably would have to do his first two years at a satellite campus as entry to University Park as a freshman is quite competitive.
He should also check out Drexel (Philadelphia) and Temple.
Drexel has a very well known coop program as does Northeastern.</p>
<p>My daughter nearly went to Temple - I was very impressed when we visited. They expected all engineering majors to graduate. in engineering. They seemed to be very supportive.</p>
<p>Did you check out NJIT? I hear it’s a good school.</p>
