Thank you for "correcting" your earlier post. I graduated from Speed in 1969 and will address just the engineering notes. We did not have US News and World Reports rankings back then but I was under the impression it was a pretty good engineering school that was well regarded by industry in large part to the "cooperative work program".

I was in the last class to graduate on Speed's historic 5 year, quarter based system. This approach added about 2/3 of a full academic year to the far more common 4 year, 8 semester program. The school flipped over to a semester based system in 1970, their initial year in the state system. IMO, the school overall was initially impaired by their designated role in the Kentucky higher education system until about the mid-90s.
Two of my HS buds went to Purdue and MIT respectively. Ever summer we got together and compared college notes. Ever year my Speed curriculum was ahead of their Purdue and MIT curriculums. I'm not saying it was better, only that the subject exposure level was higher due to quarters vs. semesters (and that also meant A LOT more homework as most textbooks were written on a semester basis
FWIW, I don't think overall there is much difference at all in engineering schools. Your classmates may skew the grades a bit but Laplace transforms are Laplace transforms no matter where you go.
Peace
I'll go first. I'll admit I'm pretty boring, but my wife puts up with it.
She will have put up with it for 50 years come next month. A former HS cheerleader, she had an appreciation of sports long before women's sports became what they are today.

In the big picture, engineering converts science into something you use everyday but simply take for granted (e.g., electricity and anything that uses it, automobiles, flat screen television, clean water, bridges, iPhone whatever, airline travel, multi-story buildings, X-ray and MRI machines, satellite communications...the list goes on.
Peace
Read that you had posted on this thread. How are you feeling about Satterthorpe dumping on your team lol and I see you all panicking in your Consider the Source thread. That is whats cute. Satterthorpe will go what 2-10 maybe 3-9 this season.This thread is adorable.

You would still be plowing behind a mule without us engineers!
I think ex-CRP is going to get something but nowhere near $45M. If it should turn out that way it is a horrible reflection on the former interim president (no longer with the school) and the now no longer head of the BoT. IMO, a much better strategy would have been to have let him coach that last year with a buyout negotiation going on. There were things that would dramatically "weaken" ex-CRP's position.
Satterfield may or may not be a better coach than Brohm. Regardless, this year's Purdue team stomps Louisville into a mudhole. Louisville will be lucky win 4 games; they'll be lucky to win any ACC games; and they couid feasibly end up 1-11.
Huh? U6 is going to be as bad this year as they were last year. I don't now much about Purdue, but I don't think they are predicted to be "terrible".
No, you got me there!But you personally didn’t develop that farm machine. Zing!!!!!
For the record, the moon was already hung when some great engineers put some men on it. Of course it took them some 66 years from the time a man first made a powered flight.

FWIW, it is really pretty hard to determine when "engineering" evolved from "inventing". By that I mean having a specific academic background. Unlike medicine, law, accounting and some other professions, the engineering profession never really "connected" the word "engineer" to a specific academic requirement.

Congrats WC on the committment!She will have put up with it for 50 years come next month. A former HS cheerleader, she had an appreciation of sports long before women's sports became what they are today.

I guess that was my point - he could be called an engineer but could not be called a doctor, lawyer, accountant, teacher, et. al. Just a peculiarity of the profession.

Whoa there Daddycat let's not get too carried away! While not to be compared to what is in existence today, the IBM computers of the 60's bulky as they were, were still far beyond Alan Turing's original mechanical computer. The disc drive was available by 1962, programming language had been developed, thin-film memory was available for high end industry etc etc etc I think you may be dismissing so great building blocks of the computer industry that were developed in the 20 years after WWII that were massive steps forward in their day. Heck man even the transistor was developed after WWII. Don't sell our fathers too short!
Not the point of this thread but you are sooooo wrong it requires correction50 years ago when I was at UK's Engineering school, Louisville had a three year speed school that gave their students a master's degree in engineering. Working for Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District, I happened to work a certain Louisville Civil Engineer, Who could not survey, he had not designed a single structure, he had no idea about anything engineering, and he had a masters degree!
That was a graduate with a master's degree out of Loservile University.
