Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Electrical Engineering  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright My time at Olin College was some of my most memorable and best spent years of my life. I highly recommend the school if you're looking for a smaller, close-knit family atmosphere where you will get to know your fellow students and professors very well. Olin is small school but full of activity. Students really take ownership of the college and are well respected by the faculty and staff. It is an innovative environment and a great think tank for ideas. And the best part is you get to be involved in shaping the curriculum as revisions are made to better serve and teach the students.

Now that I'm in the "real world", I can see how it helped me out... I'm a different kind of engineer than the folks I work with from other schools. I'm not better, I'm not worse, I'm just different. Because of my background I've been given a lot of leadership, R&D, networking, and entrepreneurial opportunities, even this early in my career. I think many Olin students are experiencing similar things. I'm really happy with the way things have turned out -- my career goal is along the CTO path, so this is good. However, if I had wanted to be a really expert senior-level engineer, I would have preferred a different kind of experience. (That may be more possible now at Olin given the curriculum changes, but as a member of the first class, I don't think it was as easy to get) Starting Job: Design Quality Engineer (Bluefin Robotics), Preparedness: B+, Reputation: C Have a Question?

But, not just the students. The professors are amazing as well as the staff. Everyone is very approachable. I have walked into the offices of professors that I never had, and they stopped what they were doing to talk to me. It is, at times, hard to find professors but that is because they are constantly working on stuff for class. It is not uncommon to get e-mails from professors at midnight or to see one of them leaving at 1:30 AM. The professors are dedicated first and foremost to the education of their students. That is something you can't get at a research university. We are also doing many new things. Engineering education is in the process of changing, and we are leading the change. We are not MIT. We are not trying to be MIT. Things at Olin are constantly changing. Since everything is new, sometimes a class won't go perfectly, however everything is getting better. Nothing is stationary. A class will literally change styles in the middle of the semester based solely from feedback. Check us out. We aren't for everyone, but we are for some. You might like us.
