Yeah I am not really that interested in Petrochem personally, and more interested in the latter.

If you want to go into aerospace or automative - La Tech offers aerospace engineering, but I'd look into what main schools Boeing/Airbus US recruit from and look into those. LSU's engineering program is generally (but not exclusively) geared towards O&G / petrochem.

I got a BSME from LSU then went to a midwest school for an MS in Aerospace. I'm in the aero industry and many of my colleagues have BS degrees from Ga Tech, Purdue, etc. LSU might not get you an interview with the big aero companies because they don't recruit there. A benefit of LSU over some of the other LA schools is the amount of research available. As an undergrad you can get involved in some of these research projects to pad your resume and make connections. Many of these projects are funded by the DOD or industries other than petrochem.
When I went to grad school, I felt I was on the same level as my classmates from Ohio State, A&M, etc.
