(2007-10-01) Olin Engineering

John Schwartz on the College Tuition-free Olin College Engineering School. Olin is stressing Creativity, Team Work and Entrepreneurship - and, in no small part, Courage. Project Based Learning... officially opened in 2002... more than 40% of students are Women... received its initial Accreditation last December after graduating its first class... But not every company is Google, and Miller admitted he is concerned that few of the class of 2006 are going on to graduate study in engineering or jobs in the field. Some graduates have told him that they are not happy in their first jobs and feel like cogs in a machine.
