Almost through the ME program here, and overall it's been a terrible time. I haven't had a single professor that I've actually enjoyed being a student of ? all of them are bad in different ways, but the seem to have one thing in common: Doing the bare minimum to get by. I'm talking multiple choice exams with no partial credit (on problems that require dozens of individual calculations), missing or skipping class, being actively rude to or overly demanding of students, or just generally being completely unreachable outside of class. The labs were their own separate joke, with TAs that haven't been instructed on what to do, devices that don't work, and recycled lab manuals from 10+ years ago. Overall I'm really disappointed with the school, don't think it was worth the money, and just want to finish and get my degree so I can get as far away as possible.
