your expectations?
The College of Engineering at B.L.D.E’s has
exceeded my expectations by providing
group activities, career resources, individual
attention, and professors with genuine
interest in teaching.
My major has met my expectations by about
90%. I would have enjoyed more choices in
THERMODYNAMICAL courses, and would
have preferred more calculus-based
learning.
