then i would say you are getting jipped. MIT looks elevendy times better than WCU on any diploma. if its the same all classes would transfer, i’d look into going there my last semester if i was in your situation. The Dr. Dunlap himself was head of WCU’s ET program (think EE also) and he started their ET program at Perdue. I was a fraction of a second from going their my last semester.
Given time WCU’s EE program will be considered good as well. The rising senior class has interns at places like Duke Energy and Tyco. I’ll admit that those from UNCC and NCSU are getting better intern positions but when I say I’m from WCU most supervisors at Duke didn’t even know we had an EE program. Once WCU gets grads out in the workforce we’ll start catching employers’ eyes, because an engineering degree is pretty much the same where ever you go. You’re still not going to know much of what you’re hired to do.
Btw, yes I did consider transfering but felt it wasn’t worth it considering I turned down both UNCC and NC State to go to Western. I’ve attended several counterpart classes at UNCC and found their lectures to be far less personal and much less informative. The fewer people there are in class, the better the education as professors can tailor their lectures to the class better.
