Grove City College, Geneva, Taylor and Hope-Engineering

[TwoEdgedSword]

My son was going to stay at the  local jc for the first year after graduation, but we all agreed he should apply to colleges even though it's quite late. He's been accepted to Grove City College, Geneva, Taylor University and probably Hope College. He wants to study mechanical engineering.

 

I'd love input on these colleges generally and specifically on their engineering programs.

 

Thank you!

My daughter is a rising Senior in Mechanical Engineering at Grove City College. They have an excellent engineering program. They really focus on the students graduating in four years; however, our daughter has accommodations and preferred to take less credits semester and she received help on how to plan it. She has taken some intersession courses and two online summer classes. It is a rigorous program. She works as an intern during the summer at BAE Systems. Her bosses have been very impressed with what she has learned at college. It is more than they expected from a college student. 

Hope that helps! Any questions?

if I think of something I will definitely ask!

Another vote for Grove City.  DH's cousin graduated from Grove City about 18 yrs ago & has done very well with his mechanical engineering degree.  A few years back at the Midwest Homeschool conference, Jay Wile said Grove City & Cedarville are well regarded for engineering.

My daughter was accepted to and considered Hope. I think they have a fine program and it’s a nurturing atmosphere. It came off her list fairly early because she preferred Calvin (similar characteristics to Hope.)
