Hopefully this will help put to rest some of those ridiculous "things are falling apart in engineering" rumors that have been floating around. The college is still doing great work and producing outstanding graduates. We're one of the best engineering schools in the south and one of the best values in terms of cost in the country.

It'd help both the college and the university if the small number of disaffected grads would put aside their petty grievances (and from what I've heard petty is being generous) and stop bad-mouthing the college.

What are you talking about

There's just been some rumors the last few months that the engineering school is not as good as it used to be. A facebook group, a few random tweets... that kind of thing.

Turns out it's a handful of students/young alums who were disappointed their choice for an open department head spot wasn't picked and instead of realizing that you don't get everything you want out of life, proceeded to start bad-mouthing the college.

I proudly claim Conor as a cousin. One of his younger brothers is studying at Cambridge this year too. Very proud of these young men.

I hope he makes it big. Please try to convince him to keep the company based in Mississippi!

Actually, it would be smarter to initially build in Mississippi because there are more rural areas with easier access for the testing and development phase. I'm not trying to be sarcastic.

I was hoping this was an IMPP thread

As an Engineer grad.....

I wouldn't necessarily say its not as good as it used to be but the old school professors that have taught the majority of practicing civil engineers is MS mostly left in the mid 2000's. It was a core group of guys that had taught so many of us through the years. I have no idea about the new guys but having worked with some recent grads they definitely do things different than what we did back in late 90's.
