Virginia Tech's College of Engineering is one of the more comprehensive engineering programs in the country— more than 11,000 students across 18 areas of undergraduate and graduate study, ranging from civil to biological systems to materials science. But some majors — such as mechanical, aerospace, and electrical engineering — have proved more popular than others. As a result, the faculty hoped to build up interest in other majors, especially in the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering. In a state with a long history of mining, there are typically more mining engineering jobs available than there are graduates to fill them. |
