I read over all the comments to the Career Fair thread.

I generally have been laying off thread creation...but I need to say this.

LSU Engineering > SU Engineering

As far as most companies are concerned :

SU engineering = LaTech engineering = all other engineering programs in LA.

ETA: I am mostly doing this for comedy, but I do feel this way

Flame shield up

No one cares about your shitty engineering program. You won't get a job graduating from that shitty school. Go shitty yourself.

Here we go again.

Engineering is different in the program and what it offers.

LaTech Engineering = LSU Engineering for quality of program, although each offers specializations.

I graduated from MIT with an engineering degree, and I'm not kidding when I say that the overwhelming majority of Southern grads I meet are lightyears ahead of the competition. Their attention to detail is something I've never seen from grads from other programs such as Purdue, Stanford, A&M, you name it.

Keep your head up, volod. You're getting a tier 1 education.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the fact that this is an LSU website, but somehow it never ceases to amaze me that the nimrods here think that somehow LSU is the be-all-end-all of academic achievement in Louisiana.

What are you people basing these rankings on? Anything concrete you care to link up?

All of these schools are ABET accredited, so what is it you think you're getting at LSU that you aren't getting anywhere else? Is calculus and thermodynamics different at LSU?

Do you think the teachers are better? Speaking from my own personal experience, while I was at ULL my teacher for Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials was Dr. Russel Hibbeler. He wrote the text books we used... the same text books the students at LSU used.

Does anyone commenting here on the relative rankings of engineering programs actually have a degree from one of these schools? How about a P.E. license?

I passed my FE without studying and my PE on my first sitting. Apparently some of that nonsense they taught at ULL was worth a damn after all.

Also, I'll just leave this here as a LINK

A team of University of Louisiana at Lafayette engineering students placed second in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Region 5 robotics competition.

LeTourneau University of Longview, Texas, earned first place and LSU placed third. The competition was held Saturday in Corpus Christi, Texas.
