[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 866902, member: 2957"] I understand your point but THAT was the mission of Tech (turning out skilled engineers for Georgia) but no longer is. The state looked at its needs and it NEEDS a lot more engineers than what Tech could generate at the time. That's why they were encouraged to open satellites (which failed) and ultimately, UGA, KSU, and others now offer engineering ... to meet the industrial needs of the state. Tech is the premier research university, no question about that, but if you look at Tech ... it no longer has a lock on technical graduates. It's ironic. Growing up in Alabama, Alabama thought Georgia had the correct educational model ... concentrating resources into premier institutions (Medical College of Georgia, Tech, etc.) rather than spread them out. Georgia was getting far more out of its educational dollar then but all that has changed. It seems every institution is trying to expand curriculum but few are rising above mediocrity with the additional offerings. [/QUOTE]
