5 /5 Me: I attended IIT as an under-grad FROM 1959-1963, earning my BSEE in 4 years. I am certain my IIT education absolutely shaped the rest of my career and personal growth.
It was hard work and I took heavier than minimum required course loads because I knew this was my unique opportunity to absorb knowledge from some of the best in their fields. In fact, when I subsequently pursued my PhDEE at Univ of So Cal (under a fellowship from Hughes Aircraft Co.) the first two years of USCEE required courses were almost a repeat of a few of my IIT undergrad courses. I was so well prepared by IIT.
I’m pleased to see that IIT is again ranking highly in engineering schools. It was in the top 10 when I attended and I hope to see it again ranked up there. It’s a school for students who are serious about learning where the class and staff size allow close interaction between students and faculty that are virtually unattainable at large universities.
