re: Looking at maybe transferring into the LSU mechanical engineering program

Personally, I really enjoyed the program and my education that got from LSU ME. The staff wasn’t perfect but it was diverse and there were some passionate instructors that would absolutely take time to ensure that students were understating the subjects. Sometimes it felt a bit crammed like stuffing a lot of material into one semester. Also there are some lock-step courses that are only offered in certain semesters which can really mess things up logistically if you were to use a W or fail. The lab facilities were a little dated when I was there but those may have been improved. The workshop is made available for students who would like to use heavy tools for prototyping, etc. At the end of it all, there were dumbasses who didn’t get through, and the people who did make it through are generally well regarded in my own opinion. I know people who have gone on to various fields besides O&G as well.
