CNN had a little blurb on its website about colleges with best ROI (return on investment for you engineers). I went to the Payscale.com website they were referencing and did a search using annual ROI, public universities, and in-state tuition with aid as my parameters. Tech was ranked 9th in the COUNTRY. NO other LA university could remotely sniff our ranking....not even close. Lsu-Barf was not even ranked. Were they too embarrassed to participate in the study? No sure but you might loose money going to GSU (bad data?).
