ParticipantEngineers can easily go into business and sales (assuming they have the personality for it)…business majors can not go into engineering. Enough said.
Stay away from science…Press for applied science.
In in that vein is Cal Poly’s Motto
“learn by doing”
Or as we all joked in the ME department when I was a student there.
“Learn by you doing”
ParticipantWithout reading anyone else’s postings…sorry guys, I am just too excited to wait to answer this question…
CAL POLY SLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best school, best price, best location.
The location and price alone put it in the top ranks, but the quality of education is amazing, assuming your kid is self motivated and stubborn. There is no hand holding there. ½ of my freshman class did not make it to graduation in the ME department. But the ones that did, all got jobs and still have them at least of the people I stay in contact with.
It is a state school price with an education far superior to any UC engineering programs (at least my last 2 employers have felt that way)!
Getting in can be a problem though.
edit: The Alum have a strong sense of nepotism. My two jobs post grad have been populated with a large percentage of Cal Poly Grads. And people who come to interview who are from Cal Poly rise to the top of the stack.
Edit X2: Did I mention that San Luis Obispo is the finest place to live in the entire country? If I could get a job there, I would move back in a second. The finest place.

ParticipantThanks Car. Yeah, I would highly recommend Courtright btw. To take this topic way off the rails, it is like toulumne meadows without the people and the rules. But it is a long ways back there with some pretty windy roads. Not as bad as mineral king though.
One other fun fact is that the Courtright Wishon reservoir system acts like a giant natural rechargeable battery. Courtright is 750 ft or so higher and so during the day they release water from the lake to turn turbines emptying the water into wishon. Then at night when electicity isn’t needed, they pump the water back up to courtright from wishon. Crazy!
