Ya a 4.0 taking GECs. Real impressive. Well I'm glad you didn't graduate from here, don't want you diluting my degree anyway.

Why would your degree matter? I thought you said you are already set for life...

Moron? How could he be a moron? He goes to OSU and is in the Fisher College of Business. They just don't let anyone in there....just ask him. Also, look at his posts, it is obvious he is of higher intellect than anyone on this forum. I am sure once he graduates from OSU, he will be hired at a place where only OSU grads work. There has to be thousands of places of employment like that.

Hired? You gotta be kidding me. Sleeper would never stoop down to the level of being hired. He will obviously be handed the keys to a Fortune 500 company coming out of school. The funny thing is the Fisher College of Business isn't even the top business school in Ohio.

True, but it is OSU. So that means it is #1. Those rankings don't mean crap.

you guys sound like a bunch of dumbasses.

My School is better than yours!

Who cares? OSU is the best in the state, but all of the other state schools are good colleges as well. Having OSU on your resume over OU or OU instead of Akron isn't going to get you a job.

achem, there are better state schools in ohio above OSU education wise. Nice FAIL.

The polymer program at Akron is really well ranked and respected, (or at least it has been). With Goodyear up in Akron, the polymer program gets a lot of attention. I would say and this is just my opinion from info and people I know, OSU engineering is very strong, stay away from integrated systems engineering, it like getting a general degree in business, sorry if I insulted anyone. ME, CHEM, Electroscience is internationally recognized, and the Center for Automotive Research are 4 very good OSU programs. Your freshman year you will survey the engineering programs offered at OSU and the interim Dean is a great person.

For most people the school you go to doesn't really matter. But there is a certain type of person who really applies everything they learn and the entire experience of college and uses it to propel them forward in their careers and lives. This type of person can greatly benefit from going to a higher quality school.

Good post.

Jmog, its not that I didn't believe you about the chem poly ranking, I had just never heard that before. Also, I thought it was interesting how everyone thinks case is the best engineering school in Ohio which is clearly not the case. Anyhow, I agree with IWP success isn't determined by which school you go to in the long run. You may have more options initially to start your career but how you end up in your career is 100 percent up to the individual.

You obviously don't understand engineering. In engineering your first 2 years are all calculus, chemistry, physics, engineering and you take most of your GECs as a junior/senior.

That 4.0 was in chemistry, calculus, physics, and engineering classes. You fail yet again.

I think the only GEC I took at OSU was english, all the rest I took once I had transfered to UA.

Don't believe me?

1st semester freshmen year, I was taking chemistry (4 cred), calculus the 4th quarter (4 cred), physics 1 (4 cred), an engineering programming course (3 cred)...that's 11 credits of real classes throw in 1 or 2 GEC possibly to get to 17-18.

Any other retarded remarks? Your highly touted OSU education is crumbling..you are the one diluting the degree.

In egineering you will have quite a few more GEC credits as a Jr/Sr than you do as a frosh.

this.

OSU didn't offer the major i wanted otherwise it's where i was going. other schools are good. and depending on what you want, maybe they're better than OSU but overall, OSU is the top dog. IMO. even if you don't agree, it's not worth fighting over.

I understand that you might not have heard that before, but just because you haven't heard something doesn't mean it isn't true, and doesn't mean you have to go on a holy crusade posting every possible engineering major ranking you can find (none of which are polymer engineering). But I digress.

Every ranking that has ever been done on polymer engineering/polymer science has had Univ of Akron and UMass at Amherst as #1 and #2 (they are flip flopped sometimes). Matter of fact, as far I can remember, UAkron was the first college ever to offer a course in rubber/polymer field.

UAkron has specialty BS degrees in Mechanical Polymer Engineering and Chemical Polymer Engineering that are used as the feeder/undergraduate degrees for the graduate polymer science and engineering program. The specialty degrees have similar coursework to their related field (mostly normal Mech E classes for the Mech Poly, and mostly ChemE courses for the Chem Poly) with all their electives being polymer science/polymer engineering courses. Obviously the Mech Poly is more about the mechanical aspects of polymer design and the Chem Poly is the chemistry/process side of polymers, but you get the idea.
