Lots to consider here. 1) starting in the Jr. College and then transferring is a common story that sounds like a good idea. Reality is often that despite what they tell you up front, many of the credit hours won't transfer. Talk to both the Jr. College and the regular school that she might later attend. I've heard a lot of horror stories about how the credits wouldn't transfer. The exception to this is if she goes to a big school, she might be able to pick up some humanities classes during the summer at the local Jr. College. That process seems to work OK and will save you money if she can do it while living at home in the summer. 2) as an engineer, (and my daugther is also an enginer) I am biased towards it because it will provide a solid foundation that would allow her to do a variety of things. I know chemical engineers that work in plants, in refineries, as petroleum or environmental enginners, and some that have gone on to medical school. 3) Architecture sounds great to artistically inclined young people - it sounds like you are mixing art with a job that actually pays. My architect frind tells me that the only one who makes money is the guy who owns the firm. 4) computer engineering? my wife is a retired comoputer systems analyst. US workers are competing with outsourced workers from India, Ireland, and other places where they have a lot of smart people who speak english and will work for low wages. Many large companies have moved most of their accounting and IT departments to these countries. If she had the smarts and drive to do engineering, do it. And if she gets accepted to a big univeristy, they have lots ot study groups and mentoring to help - but she's got to seek it out, it won't come to her. And plan on 5 years, it's hard to do an engineering degree in 4.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
