<p>I'm extremely interested in pursuing electrical engineering. I've researched a lot online, but there's only so much you can learn from what college websites write about themselves(and they all try to make themselves seem like the best school out there).</p>
<p>I at least know about the most reputable colleges, but after looking at ranking lists, it seems as though some less prestigious colleges in general are ranked further above more prestigious colleges in terms of engineering.</p>
<p>So if anyone could offer opinions on the engineering program or if possible, electrical engineering program of the following schools, it would greatly be appreciated:</p>
<p>Yes I'm familiar with the more high-caliber engineering programs, but I was wondering about some that seemed more obscure to me, so I listed those.</p>
<p>So far I'm thinking Berkeley, UT Honors, CMU, Rice, Stanford, Duke, WashU. Any other recommendations/info would be great</p>
<p>Boston College has schools of management, arts and sciences, nursing and education. They do not have an engineering school. The closest you'd find there is a CS degree.</p>
<p>Wow do I feel silly. I googled boston college engineering and clicked the first link. As I read about it, it sounded pretty legit, but what I failed to realize was that is was actually boston university. Thanks BCeagle :).</p>
<p>i never understood ppl who went to UPenn for engineering, although id say their graduates will have absolutely no problem landing beautiful jobs.</p>
<p>^^^ yeah. i'm applying to engineering everywhere else and then wharton. if i'm gonna try to get into upenn, i'm gonna try to get into their best program.</p>
<p>xjis, yes, i was looking to see if i would get responses similar to yours, because I honestly didn't know of their prestige in engineering, but it seems that they're not all that great.</p>
<p>We visited UPenn with son when he was trying to decide on colleges and since spouse is a Wharton Grad, it was a definate "must visit". As son was interested in engineering, we toured the dept there and came away from Penn understanding that most Penn Engineer grads go to work in the financial sector as Financial or Investment Engineers. At least that was the title when we visited. Unfortunately, son was not the least bit interested in working in finance with an engineering degree, so much to spouse's dismay, Penn was crossed off the list. I guess son walked away feeling that the Engineering dept just wasn't as strong as some of the other depts on campus nor as strong as other schools he was visiting at the time.</p>
<p>If you want value out of your degree, UT Austin and Georgia Tech are probably best bets. Both are very affordable compared to other top programs and the engineering program reputation of these schools are excellent. Plus, both programs are good in almost all of their engineering offerings, so you won't have to worry so much if you wanted to change to another engineering major.</p>
