He cares more about "Individual" treatment than the average student.
Date: Dec 31 1969
Major: Unknown (This Major's Salary over time)
The Fire Protection Engineering program is staffed by professors more interested in doing research than teaching. The department seems to forget students are paying customers. Many professors are more interested in establishing a reputation in industry with Factory Mutual Insurance than have interaction with students. Suggest going to University of Maryland where the tuition is less than 1/2 the price. Once the department is out of students and tuition funds, they might come to the realization that people pay money to be taught. This lack of caring about teaching is evident in that the Department never did get the Fire Protection Engineering curriculum approved by ABET.
