I have a Northwestern grad working for ME.
I had one work for me for many years, but he was from NW State, in Louisiana.  Our director thought he was from NW main.

Never had any OSU, PSU, MN, MSU or Iowa grads.

Had one UM grad. Very smart. Couldn't design his way out of a paper bag, and we felt he never would. We cut him loose and advised him to go into academia. 

Indiana does not offer engineering programs.

There’s a 22 year old who just graduated in 4 years from Wisconsin with his masters in computer and electrical engineering living in my basement.

Happy to have him home.  He’s getting interviews coast to coast but nothing close so far.

Purdue is the engineering program in Indiana, obviously-- just ask bwar.  I worked with an excellent Purdue engineer back in the day.

When I was a manager at AMD, I had several various engineering grads working for me. Stanford, Georgia Tech, UT, A&M.

The best engineer I ever worked with was from UT-San Antonio.  The worst was from Stanford, but not the same guy as above.

If he's looking in High Tech it's a tough market but NVidia and AMD are both hiring big-time.

Currently our two best engineers are from Valparaiso and Wayne State.

I'd rather have a kid from UW-Platteville than UW-Madison, to be honest.

The smaller schools produce more practical engineers, and they are more useful out of the gate. Undoing too much academia is not easy.

Perfect football weather here 57° Sunny,breezy out of the North. Beats the hell out of 85°-95° we've seemingly had most summer. Gonna have some roasted grilled brats,raw onion,stadium mustard on seeded Brioche Bun
It is truly glorious. Where you open up all the windows and it is comfortable when you go to bed and you are wrapped in blankets by the morning, with no responsibilities outside of ensuring the kids stay alive and the televisions are all tuned to football

Yup.  My friend and coworker from UTSA was from a poor family from a small town in South Texas.  Super smart but was working multiple jobs through high school, never had time to focus on academics and SATs and stuff, that could have gotten him into a "top" school.  UTSA had small classes and tons of practical labs, not so many tenure track professors but lots of "guest lecturer" type profs from industry.  He blew me away, I learned a lot from him.

UGA now offers main line engineering, which is odd to me.  They always had Ag Eng back in the day, but why would they add civil and chemical?

Weird.  Leave it to the Nats (who got ranked in football now, but I sense they lose to Syracuse today.).

Half hour to KO - if UT can keep Edwards and Loveland under wraps IMHO the hosts could get hammered. I don't see that offense sustaining drives and UT should be able to control the ball as the game drags on. Weasels lost too much to the draft and eligibility/graduation. Texas not so much and from what  I've read they've replaced everyone with 4-5 stars
