How will engineering students benefit from differential tuition?
A. Differential tuition revenue will be used to hire more faculty and equip state-of-the-art labs, both of which will improve the quality of instruction engineering students receive. In addition, differential tuition will provide additional student financial aid and teaching assistants. Because of its intense focus on applications and hands-on learning experience, engineering requires more direct student-professor interaction than do many other disciplines. Differential tuition will provide resources to hire more faculty members and so improve the quality of undergraduate engineering education by lowering the current student/faculty ratio in the college.
