In summary, the conversation is about the speaker's interest in engineering, specifically environmental engineering, and their desire to attend a college with a strong engineering technology program. They mention Stevens Institute as their top choice and inquire about other schools such as URI, New Haven, and Drexel. The other person mentions that MIT is considered the best institute for engineering in the world, but the speaker is unsure about it and asks for information about the other schools.

As of now I know engineering interests me because I love math and science and I've talked to my cousin who is an engineer and he tells me great things and describes what he does. I may be interested in environmental engineering but I want to take an engineering technologies course in college next year as a freshman, anybody know of schools with really good engineering technology classes?! Stevens Institute is my number 1 school I want to go to next year but I want to know of more schools to keep in mind!
