Wow, I hope the info is correct, that would be a nice surprise for next year.. My DS is MS IV in engineering as well. He is going to a large school with a new engineering department. Not alot of class options as it is new, and ROTC location and time slots pretty much rules out all but one class slot on Tuesday and Thursday. My question is do they have to take an ROTC class their 5th year? He's going to need that time slot to finish up a pretty heavy load that 5th year.
Also, just curious, this new program is 132 semester hours and does not count any ROTC classes. I know the ABET accreditation is fairly limiting, but a couple other schools we looked at , counted 6 hours as free electives. Just curious, we obviously have to play under the current guidelines of the school.
