<p>It seems that Aerospace Engineering programs are in short supply. The only one I'm familiar with in my immediate area besides MIT's is Boston University's. While I like Boston University, its Aerospace program looks like it may be a little.. juvenile? under-developed? lacking a hands-on component? Maybe even: "utterly completely useless" as some of my friends would like to say?</p>
<p>With that in mind, I'm wondering what some other colleges in a similar class but with better Aerospace programs are. I'm familiar with Georgia Tech's program being #2 in the country, but I'm looking for more options/opportunities. While I'm looking at colleges all over the country, learning about more good Aerospace programs in my area (Massachusetts/New England/East Coast) would definitely be helpful as well. Thank you!</p>
<p>I'm specifically looking for colleges with heavy hands-on programs, good graduate placement, a focus on internships, etc. Places where people have personally had good experiences would be nice to hear about too. Thanks!</p>
