Question for Engineering baws

I have a friend whose son is considering going to Loyola - New Orleans to be a student-athlete. He wants to major in Engineering, which Loyola doesn't have but has a dual degree program with UNO.
Is UNO reputable in Engineering? A lot of these smaller schools have dual degree programs for Engineering, but they are more recognizable schools (Georgia Tech, Clemson, etc.) I just don't know about UNO and its reputation in Engineering.

A degree is a degree in my book. Some employers factor at where you went to school, but in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn’t matter where you go as long as you have a degree.

yeah, it totally doesn't matter. Especially with a professional degree like engineering. You sure he couldn't just get it online somewhere.

UNO’s not as rigourous or prestigious as LSU engineering, but it’s not going to really put him at any disadvantage when looking for jobs.

University of no options

if he wants to work in LA, UNO Engineering is fine. If he wants to work out of state, he’ll have trouble keeping his resume in the piles of the better companies.
I’m speaking in terms of getting hired out of school. Once he has some work experience, where he got his degree won’t matter much...in state or out.

A degree is a degree unless it’s from southern

There are so many Engr jobs out here it doesn't matter

There are certainly more highly regarded programs. But as stated, when it comes to undergrad degrees there’s not much difference with the course work. But labs are more challenging at more notable schools.
The prominent engr schools distinguish themselves with their advanced degree programs.

This is probably the most complete answer here as long as we're talking about getting jobs in industry.

Is the NC State engineering program any good? Can you get a decent job with an EE degree from NC State?

UNO is the walmart of engineering.

Best answer, and I've hired engineers and industrial technologists at my last 2 jobs.
I would expand the geographical area to include Mississippi and East Texas as area's he can get some consideration out of school in the Oilfield, specifically for companies with Louisiana ties, mostly oilfield. Mostly because those companies will typically have an office either in NOLA or on the north shore. Louisiana is still where the wheelhouse for those entry level jobs are, though.
Good luck!

Wait he’s going to play college sports D.1? And try to get an EE?
Man that’s a bold move.

Loyola - New Orleans is NAIA. In his dads words, he could go D2, D3 or NAIA. NAIA gives him a great scholarship opportunity (more than D2). There are several D3 programs that he could go to as well, but you have to at least consider finances.
He wouldn't even be considering this option except for the prospect of playing sports. May still decide to go frat star at LSU.
