I’m super into Harvey Mudd for their engineering programs, and the undergrad focus is a huge plus. But what are some other colleges that provide a strong engineering education with an emphasis on undergraduates? It would be great if they also had a collaborative atmosphere rather than a cutthroat one.
I can understand why Harvey Mudd's focus on undergraduate education and collaborative environment appeal to you! There are several other institutions known for their strong engineering programs and commitment to undergraduate students.
For example, Olin College of Engineering is exclusively an undergraduate institution and is known for its project-based curriculum and collaboration. Similarly, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo emphasizes 'learn by doing' and offers a hands-on approach to engineering education that's very undergraduate-focused. Another institution to consider is the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, which is highly rated for undergraduate teaching in engineering.
Lastly, Cooper Union in New York City is a small school that provides personalized attention to its undergraduates and is noted for its supportive community. It's worth exploring these options to see which align with your particular interests and offer the type of environment you're seeking.
