[QUOTE="GT Chillin' It, post: 640595, member: 1516"] A responsibility I have is recruiting future engineering talent for a very large southeastern based company (we employ a few thousand engineers); Tech students and alumni are the “blue bloods” of engineering and are hands down the most revered engineers we have in the company. They comprise the vast majority of the PEs on staff as well as the engineering leadership team. What we are seeing though with the younger generation is a shift in culture between people trained at Tech and those trained at UGA, Auburn, UF, Bama, etc. For the most part we can not get a Tech grad to leave the major cities, but we can find good engineers all day long at the other schools to go to places like Valdosta, Macon, Phoenix City, Dothan just to name a few. Don’t get me wrong, it takes a lot of combing to find the gems at those schools but there are some quality engineers coming out. The biggest issue we see in UGA in particular is there lack of commitment to expanding class offerings. We much prefer to bring on co-ops but where at most schools it only adds one year to their graduation at UGA it typically adds two. So many of their classes are only offered in just Spring or just Fall with little to no offerings in the Summer. UGA will never get to Tech’s level until they choose to dump a lot more money in to the program. They are very much still a fledgling program regardless of what that professor says in the article.
