If interested in Engineering in Lafayette, try Fenstermaker here which is a fairly large Engineering firm here. Had a Rotary lunch with them today and they hire many LSU and Louisiana engineering grads. That have about 315 on staff about half oil and gas survey and half engineers.

Fenstemaker does NOT have 315 permanent employees. They are severely short-handed. Good firm though.

Is the discipline of engineering different at MIT than it is at LSU. Do fluids, statics, thermo's, dynamics, physics, mathematics, etc. all perform differently in Massachusetts vs. Louisiana?
The fundamental course work may have the same title, but when every student in your MIT class would have been the top student in any engineering school ranked number 5 or lower the depth of material and the pace with which it is covered is not comparable. The pressure on MIT students is enormous, and their suicide rate is alarming. Many of these students went through 12 years of grade school taking the highest level classes available never earning less than an A, then made a near perfect score on the SAT, only to arrive at MIT and receive their first Cs because their intellect is only average among their peers.

I think the only reason it's highly regarded is because it's the only Engineering program in the state.
I'll have to tell my UNO EE teachers that.

Free tuition (TOPS), drunken nights in tiger land, 2 football national championships, all nighters in CEBA, degree in ME, accepted a high paying oil & gas job before graduation... No regrets here

UNO has/had a really good one last I remember.

Just link one. No tests came up on page 12 of the search.
OpenCourseware home page
1.010 (Uncertainty in Engineering) Final (PDF)
Departments at MIT are called Courses, and have numbers. Civil Engineering is Course 1.
That was just a class I picked at random from the lower numbers in Course 1. I have no idea how it compares with anything from somewhere else; I just wanted to point out where you could find things like this if you're interested.

You still in school?

He should go to the best school that he has a full ride to. Don't pay $40k a year for a degree that he might be able to get for free from LSU.
