[QUOTE="GT33, post: 933119, member: 5550"] We should probably have 4-5k Engineering undergrads coming in every year and another 2-3k or so of others. That would give us an undergrad base of about 30k. Instead we let in 3500 total, we end up with an undergrad base of about 15k. The demand for Engineers is huge & we're stuck on limiting numbers. Meanwhile, every other school we're competing against is amassing an almuni base at twice the rate we are. The "haves" are increasing their size of the overall pie, the GT and "have nots" are going to be left in the dust when the factory Engineering schools start outspending us, stealing our talents, etc just like they're doing in sports. We're digging our own grave & we need to wake up quick. If it was me, I'd do something like take the elite talent we're recruiting for undergrads and slap an "Honors program" designation on all of the Engineering programs they're part of. I'd build and staff a regular Engineering program under it, you know for the kids who are very smart like your daughter just not extreme Rocket Scientists & others so they can get an outstanding Engineering degree from the top Engineering school in the nation. We're so protective of our precious academic reputation sometimes it makes you wonder if anyone's watching the world around them. [/QUOTE]
