The Final Round in the AEP Bracket Challenge: Purdue v. Georgia Tech

Round Four voting results have taken the top four schools down to the final two, Purdue University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, a pair of tried-and-true bastions of engineering.

There were only two runoffs last week, one pitting Purdue against Cornell, and the other with Cl Tech trying to fend off Georgia Tech. In the first match-up, Purdue was left standing when the smoke cleared. The final tally was 63% to 37%. And on the other side of the brackets, Georgia Tech did a number on Cal Tech (60% to 40%). So this time next week, we’ll either be singing a couple rounds of Rambling Wreck or drinking a couple rounds of Boilermakers. You get to decide.

So take some time this week to cast your vote for the school you feel has the best engineering program. Or play to win some serious prizes. Voting is open 24/7 through Sunday, May 2  at the AEC Information Page
