<p>PSAT321, there are several unique things about Princeton engineering. First of all, if you’re interested in conducting research at college, it is simply a given at Princeton. Due to the senior thesis requirement (across all majors), you’ll have the opportunity to conduct research in something that interests you, working one-on-one with a professor. Depending on your major, you might also do research for a junior paper (similar to a senior thesis). What others have said above really embodies another key point-- Princeton is a liberal arts college at heart; this is more true for Princeton than any other school I’ve seen that offers engineering. What this means is if you choose not to major in engineering for whatever reason, there are other strong programs for you. Also, if you know what engineering major you want, look up that department’s undergraduate handbook (The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Undergraduate Handbook for instance). This document (or the equivalent for whatever department you’re interested in) contains detailed info about potential certificate programs, graduation requirements, independent work, career trajectories of Princeton engineers, areas of concentration (sort of subdivisions of majors), advising, extracurriculars associated with engineering, awards available, etc. You can find a lot of good info in these handbooks, so I’d recommend typing “Princeton Department of (insert your department) Undergraduate Handbook” into a search engine.</p>
