It's easy to see why Engineering professors...and professors in medical schools (for example)...would demand higher pay than would an English professor.Why? Engineers working in the field...and physicians actually treating patients...can make serious $$$.English professors have employment alternatives? I think not,apart from writing books perhaps.

So,yes...I can see engineering students paying higher tuition.

Engineering students will migrate to dedicated engineering schools to get a quality education, rather than attending a place run by liberal arts subjective types.

One of our daughters chose Embry-Riddle, a university little heard of outside the aviation community. However, Embry-Riddle has a world-wide reputation in aviation. The higher private school tuition she paid has more that proved its worth by opening doors in industry and at NASA.

Our other three kids all graduated from nationally renowned universities and have done well in life. However, Embry-Riddle is the place which most impressed me as an institution of learning, HIGHER learning.

In related news, Georgia Tech has instituted an affordable, on-line masters program in computer science. http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=212951

Good engineering schools will develop efficient quality programs which meet the educational & financial needs of students & industry.

Objective standards & solutions, not the subjective liberal arts garbage.

“On time, above spec and under budget” should be their motto.
