Does Cal Poly Pomona have a decent school of Engineering?

I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis.  Cal Poly gives you more 'hands on' engineering than some other schools that take a more 'theoretical' approach.  Depends on what you want to do (hands-on vs. theoretical).  I recommend it if you are good or like working directly on projects.  If you prefer doing more calculations, there are also some good schools back East to look at.  You also would do well to go to Pomona followed by graduate school somewhere else.

the one up north (calumet)  is not a good school... its a pilot campus if your going to get a good education go to the original one... I cant tell you how many times my husband had to miss a class because of the north camups bomb threats and such... most of then were students pranking so they could skip out on classes

There are a number of good ones, Texas A&M is a good one, U of T at Austin is good.  I have a very high opinion og Colorado School of Mines, I think they have turned out some top notch kids.

You should know what type of engineering career you want in order to find the best enginnering school for you; it may not necessarily be the "Best School."\nThings may have changed but long ago I was told that MIT was the best but in their undergraduate school you did all the work and the Profs merely guided you.  In other universities you may be almost spoon fed but will receive a standard marketable engineering education.  One Prof said that MIT was so competitive that you must have all A's to get in; but there may be students there who are ten times smarter and willing to work ten times harder and are one hundred time more effective (probably an exageration but you get the point).  Many students dropped out I was told because they were not used to not being at the top.\n\nThen certain excellent schools such as Brown may be more theoretical than practical (probably by emphasis) than are other schools.  For example a Brown student might be more interested in what is happening to the molecules within a loaded beam to make a better beam; while a more practical applications school might emphasize how to load the beam and will it fail design specs.\n\nI studied mechanical engineering at NU in Boston and had a Co-Op job at a shipyard, where they had almost everything mechanical you could wish to have in mechanical engineering heaven and more.  That included sea trials on conventional and nuclear surface ships and work with the designers.  I paid my entire tuition once based on only two weeks of overtime (14 days/ 12hr per day) and graduated with money in the bank rasther than debt.  My highly satisfying career included almost 30 years as a Test Engineer (plus Design and Site engineering supervision) working on marine steam plants).\n\nHope you find what is best for you.  Good luck.

I have heard many good things from friends in Cali. Here is a link to help you out:\nhttp://www.humboldt.edu/~educ/

In CA, the best would be USC or UCLA.\n\nHowever, there are a lot of other good schools not in California if you would be interested, including Columbia University, NYU, Ithaca College, and Weseleyan University.  Hope these names are something different than what you've been hearing. Vote me for best answer! :)

If you're an undergrad - its the best bio schools.\n\nHere's a couple\n\nJohns Hopkins, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UoP. \n\nThe first few would be the premier. I would say that UCSD and UC Irvine are good match schools and U o P would be a safety school.

yeah, it is one of the up coming engineering college in andhra pradesh with best of the faculty and fecilities.

i have heard cal poly is better but that is just one data point. here is another way to analyze

I believe Stanford University is the highest ranked of all California schools, placing 5th in the US News and World Report rankings (probably the best known college ranking system). It is also one of the better-ranked doctorate-level engineering schools, but there are other universities better in other areas.  Check out the links for more information, the second provides tuition, and student body sizes.  The first is a link to the Stanford University homepage, you can apply there should you choose to do so.\n\nThe best California universities in the rankings following Stanford are:\nCaltech at #7, UC Berkeley at #20, and UCLA at #25.\n\nhttp://www.stanford.edu/\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/directory/brief/drglance_1305_brief.php

As a CA native, born and raised......all are good schools that you mentioned. USC is great, but the location it is in can be described as " Ghetto " and it's in a really bad part of the Los Angeles Community. Although that has nothing to do with the school itself. \n\nBerkley is great and would be a good choice! UCSB is good, I had some friends that went there but it isnt better than Berkley or USC.

It's OK, but is one of the smaller of the Cal State schools and as such both the faculty and curriculum are a bit limited.\n\nI attended Cal State Fullerton (one of the largest of the Cal State schools), and -- sorry to say -- we used to make jokes about CSSB :(  But don't let that stop you, all of the Cal State campuses are very respectable.

Penn State is the greatest school in the country.  Large classes are not a problem, you can be as active in the class as you want, and there are labs and small groups in each class.  It has thousands of insanely hot girls.  It has a great academic track record.  The football and Joe Pa are the best.  There are over 30 bars, 59 fraternitys, and thousands of apartments all within a 7 block radius.  The city of State College has every culteral aspect you could want from malls, to concerts, and sports.  Yet, in just 15 miniutes, you can be in the middle of the beautiful country side hiking or camping.  Did I mention the hot chicks?  HUGE Parties.  Rated #1 party school by Playboy and Wall St Journal.  Their colors are Blue and White.  Oh yeah, and I went there!  WE ARE!  PENN STATE!  The do have the largest alumni assoc in the world which I am a lifetime member of.  I got an internship with the Philladelphia 76ers through PSU!
