I attended the University of Cincinnati, Aerospace Engr, 1972. UC Engr has a mandatory co-op program. I worked at NASA and the Air Force before graduating. I can't make a strong enough recommendation for an engineering co-op school. Now, when I look at a UC engineering class picture, they all look like me, meaning no real diversity. Let's see what we can do to change that. I was an average student and scared to death that I might not be able to "cut it". If I can do it, you can do it.
