Kettering University is Number 1

There are quite a few schools these days online and off that offer great engineering programs. However, not too many can guarantee a job upon graduation. Is Kettering University different? Can they secure a career for their graduates? Perhaps, or at least they seem to put their students on the right path.

I had to do a little bit of research but here's the deal on Kettering University. Their engineering co-op programs allows students to work on real-world projects with up-to-date technology. Here's five best things about Kettering as told by one of their students who had a chance to visit with top engineers from Volvo, BMW amongst others . . . 1) work experience before graduation, 2) the maturing factor, 3) personal interaction with professors because of smaller campus, 4) unity amongst students, 5) employment rating right out of school.

Sounds pretty good, I must say. Furthermore, Kettering has been ranked number one for both Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering. US News and World Report both give this ranking in their annual "America's Best Colleges Guide for 2008." Considering they beat out Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, that's impressive.

Well, there you have it. If you are interested in mechanical engineering or any field mentioned above Kettering seems to be the college of choice. Here's to everyone's future.
