Miss first school of engineering is hilarious.

they could also say Mississippi's worst school of engineering.

They're trying to improve their engineering departments through Toyota. Luckily, they have all those people in the state government who were able to funnel millions to the ole miss departments. And they still suck

[FlabLoser]

I highly doubt they have the first engineering school. Best case for them is they were to first to name their engineering department "college of engineering".

How good are we?

We won the latest Dept of Energy competition in which universities compete to build the best fuel efficient car.

EcoCAR 2 Announces Year One Winner: Mississippi State University

The engineering schools competing in that list is suspiciously missing Ole Miss:

California State University, Los Angeles
Colorado State University
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Mississippi State University
North Carolina State University
The Ohio State University
Pennsylvania State University
Purdue University
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
University of Ontario Institute of Technology
University of Tennessee, Knoxville
University of Victoria
University of Washington
University of Waterloo
Virginia Tech
Wayne State University


We've done this multiple years.

Mississippi State University Wins DOE and GM Challenge X 2008 Advanced Vehicle Competition

The competition in the 2008 challenge:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Georgia Tech
Howard University
Michigan Technological University
Mississippi State University
Missouri University of Science and Technology - Rolla
North Carolina State University
Ohio State University
Ontario Institute of Technology
Pennsylvania State University
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
Texas Tech University
University of Victoria
University of Waterloo
University of Wisconsin
Virginia Tech
West Virginia University

We won that competition 3 YEARS IN A ROW against similar competition. One year the competition included MIT.

If our engineer school was a football team, we would be winning BCS games every year, while Ole Miss would be in the Sun Belt.

they also claim to have the largest enrollment in the state.

That's probably counting Tupelo and Jackson

[messageboardsuperhero]

"Flagship" is just a pointless title UM gives itself to raise their own self-esteem. It has as much relevance today in the academic world as the Queen of England has actual law-making power in the UK. The only thing "Flagship" means is that it was the first public school in the state.

There is a reason we used to be Mississippi a&m

[MadDawg]

I think they must be including the medical school.

[BossDawg]

I think they must be including the medical school.

I'm pretty sure they are.

[PassInterference]

The state of MS considers all of the bigger universities to be the state's "flagships". OM claimed "flagship" and ran with it.

We should include the word in our ads, but not as a primary thing because its clearly not that important or significant.

Who's good with photoshop?

We need to modify their ad to include this under "National Recognition".

Maybe the fact we just passed them in the US News and World Report rankings has left them butt hurt and needing attention.
