A new school in town - Washington Engineering Institute

Very high geek factor and very cool. Check out Washington Engineering Institute. They offer a strong program of Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) courses. Started back in November of 2009, they have already had a graduating class for their two year program and are on track for certification for the two and four year programs. They are a no-frills school (no athletic program, etc...) so this keeps the tuition costs down to an affordable $5,400/year for the four year program and $3,600/year for the two year Career programs. Classes are from 6PM to 9PM each evening. From their ABOUT page:

COLLEGE MISSION:
"The mission of the Washington Engineering Institute is to provide practical engineering technology curriculum, driven by industry needs, and instructed by engineers, surveyors, and technicians with practical industry experience. The goal is to produce positive and motivated engineering technicians, technologists, and engineers with technical job skills that are highly desirable to engineering and related industries."

HUMBLE CAMPUS FACILITY . + . SMALL ADMINISTRATION = LOW TUITION
We do our best to keep our private four-year college tuition much lower than other four-year colleges. Funding is efficiently focused on instructors and instruction, not facilities or administration. Our campus facilities are best described as "humble." In addition, our administrators are busy teaching classes along with faculty. Last, all students are required to have their own laptops for school and ebay acts as our bookstore. These simple sustainable education approaches lead to lower tuition costs for students.

Cool! Class size is fixed at 16 max.
