This needs to be posted in the football and basketball forums to "get folks daubers out of the dirt".

I read their analysis and disagree with the statement that most of our graduates pursue careers in engineering. I would say that less than 1/3, probably less than 1/4 of our graduates are engineers now. This is just a feeling but so I would like some numbers.

Good to see, but I'm questioning their data, too. See #33, which they refer to as "Bama" in their writeup. (Clearly from their writeup they intended to put UAHuntsville there)

Yeah, the numbers aren't close to that. About 20% of the student body is in the College of Engineering & Science. And that's current student body--a lot of students start as engineers and end up as something else.

And majors like math, physics, chemistry, etc. are in the COES, too.

According to collegeboard.com, only 14% of Tech bachelor's students major in engineering.

I was pointing this out because the non engineering grads (80%) can bring down the average salaries, especially over the first few years out of school.

I wasn't being negative. I was just pointing out that their reasoning for our lower rating was inaccurate. The rating itself is great. Forgot to mention that, I guess.
