    No.
    Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

        All I was commenting on was that few major in Communication and most major in Management, not the fact that son-of-alumn feels that implies that RPI has relaxed its standards. I suspect that my average would have been lower had I majored in Management at the time I was at RPI. As to Communication, it should be obvious from my posts that I am lacking in that regard.

          I'm not sure that's limited to you. After all, didn't they add communications classes to the core curriculum for engineering recently? I know they weren't required when I was there (just Professional Development), but I had heard some things have changed.

            Makes a lot of sense. If you can't explain the why (communications and subsequent change mgmt) then the what (engineering) does not get to swim in as big a pond.

            I hire a lot of data engineers, scientists, and analysts and won't hire anyone that can't effectively present their work or their ideas to non-technical audiences.

                Bothman,

                Then again, I am far from the bottom in my language skills. I am really struggling with the second period in rvdstar69's post.

                  I would want them as tough as they have always been. I want only smart BIG hockey players on this team who can skate like the wind and put the puck into the net with regularity.

                    A program that doesn't win.
                    And the lack of players making it to the NHL.
                    Going back almost twenty years, we have had Matt Murley, Brad Tapper, Brian Pothier and Brandon Pirri play more than a hand full of games in the NHL.
                    Anyone with professional aspirations will want to go to a school that can get you a shot at the big time.
                    Total yes to all of that but add that any recruit coming in would want to be seen and noticed on a national basis. RPI does not often get as much exposure that other teams do, even in the same conference, and that has to be overcome. Not being in the final four at Placid or AC in the past many years has no doubt hurt in that regard. When you are not playing in a hockey mecca like Boston, you really have to get the exposure that a yearly visit to the championships (win or lose) gives.

                      If the recruit is good they will get exposure, doesn't matter where you play it matters who the coaches know and how much they can develop a player.

                      Academics should not be touched, they fit in or they don't. There is a reason they have major juniors etc.

                      One can argue that HALF the programs don't win. So you recruit on getting playing time, building something and a great degree.

                      NHL aspirations? Few for many teams, question is can you develop your players, and I think there are a few nearby programs that have been successful with NO NHL players on them.

                      You can argue what you like about the HFH, great old barn, team wins it will be packed. Team doesn't it won't. Will some recruits look at it and say no way? Possible but if that's the kind of recruit the coach is looking at he is not the right guy.

                      Look around, the formula is out there, been done before and will again. It comes down to, getting the right coaches, is the hockey culture there, and does the team get the proper funding it needs.

                              I just voted on a proxy against Shirley who is an member of the Board of Directors of a company where I own some stock. Too bad that my vote is about as unimportant as my vote for President in DC.
