Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Computer Engineering  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright If you're entering any Engineering program, don't let Graphics and Mechanics (required for all Engi majors) frighten you: they're weeding-out classes, it gets better after that. While classes at STMU sometimes don't cover cutting edge stuff, you do get a good understanding of the underlying principles. If you're an engineering major, USE THE MACHINE SHOP! How many mechanical engineers get out of college knowing how to machine what they design? Huge advantage when looking for a job. Definitely make friends with the lab managers and lab assistants, 24/7 access to lab equipment makes life a lot easier (and a lot more interesting if you like to tinker, and if you don't why are you in an engineering program?) Yes, the bell tower was a boondoggle. We planned to use it to launch UAVs but there's no access to the top unfortunately. Campus police generally mean well, but they're simple. Use the fact that the engineering department is small to your advantage: professors are generally very accessible. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Useful Schoolwork: C Have a Question?

Every professor I have had has been extremely helpful. The faculty to student ratio makes it simple to get to know your teachers on a personal level. I've actually made friends with many of my professors and keep in contact with them on a regular basis (despite it being summer). The residence life faculty is absolutely amazing! My residence hall experience was a blast, due in part to effective programming and friendly staffers. Education Quality: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: A Have a Question?

However it does provide an excellent foundation for pre-meds and anyone else who may be interested in a science-related field. With all of the opportunities the university has provided to me such as the courses and the very helpful professors, I feel more than decently prepared for the mcat in the future and med school.

I attended both undergrad and grad schools there at St.MU. The undergrad program is more for the traditional student with little flexibilty for those students considered nontraditional. The grad program is just the reverse. I found the undergrad work more challenging than the grad program. Most professors work hard to give you time for one on one help and are of good nature. However, there are some that are down right cruel and will work you to death. Being a nontraditional student I did not get involved in the social programs for students however, it does appear an array of events and activities are available for those staying on campus to have a life. I do here curfew is enforced at the dorms. Starting Job: Security Manager, Preparedness: D+, Reputation: B- Have a Question?
