I really really really want to buy, soon

Cornell is a great Ivy for Engineering. The nice thing about a lot of the top private schools with large endowments, at least as far as the Ivy’s are concerned, is that they have need blind admissions and will make sure if you are accepted that you get a financial aid package that will allow you to attend.

I got my BS in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science from UC Berkeley, and did my co-op at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. The co-op was basically a semester-long internship; it probably gave me a leg up if I had wanted to return to JPL, but otherwise I think a summer internship at an engineering-oriented corporation provides just as much work experience. And the nice thing is engineering corporations have money to give to summer interns (and grad students). 🙂

Having gone on a pre-college visit to Caltech, I’d say that the engineering guys at Berkeley are just as geeky as the ones at Caltech – but they both can be really sweet. That’s probably because I’m somewhat of a geek girl myself. 🙂 What’s nice about the UC schools is the general college environment – the football games and other activities that aren’t always available at tech schools.

UCSD has a solid tie-in program with the San Diego engineering corporations; I used to participate in it when I worked for a defense-contractor company. I’m not sure what the UC Riverside undergraduate engineering program is like, but I know that (as of 10 years ago) they didn’t have an engineering graduate program.

UC this, UC that, Mudd, Stanford, MIT bla bla bla.

On Piggington’s Fantasy Island only those schools will do.

San Diego State has fine engineering programs (undergrad) – if you work for a company your own abilities will largely determine your destiny, not the school you attended.

This forum reeks of San Diego snobbery as usual – makes me sick.

It is true that the school you attend makes little difference at the middle to senior levels in software and maybe most of engineer but —

I haven’t really seen much talent coming out of SDSU and other csu schools. I know lots of QA people with CS degrees from SDSU and apparently their ciriculium is quite soft. They can’t really hang even at the associate level in terms of entry level standards.

Of course there’s always exceptions and I don’t mean to offend anyone 😛
