<p>How are Brown's engineering departments? Do people who do undergrad engineering at Brown go to top grad schools, get lots of job offers, etc.?</p>
<p>no and no.</p>
<p>why do u say that?</p>
<p>Do you see Brown on any engineering ranking? I don't think a single undergraduate at Brown made it to Berkeley graduate in engineering, especially in BioE.</p>
<p>Brown engineering is ranked 53rd or something. but i would still goto Brown anyday over UIUC or Purdue who are ranked within top 15 if it's just for undergrad.... but maybe not over somewhere like UC Berkeley. (well, duh)</p>
<p>...i say if you want to do engineering in ivy-league, try Princeton or Cornell.</p>
<p>Hey, Brown has pretty darn good engineering</p>
<p>This was actually just discussed in the Engineering forum a few days ago. I think the consensus came down to if you really want to do engineering as a passion, there's better places than Brown to do it (since you'd be surrounded by more engineers, have more research opportunities, etc). However, if you're looking at engineering as a way to get into finance or a professional school, it's a perfectly fine idea.</p>
<p>undergraduate engineering rankings don't matter much in terms of job prospects. Engineering is one of those fields that aren't much sensitive to 'prestige' or the rankings of programs, not within academic circles but within job market. Also, you should choose your undergraduate school using holistic method. Don't choose UIUC over Brown just bc UIUC has higher engineering rank when you like Brown better. Chances are it won't matter in future. Look at schools based on many factors, such as atmosphere, other programs, student body, location, etc. Also, another thing to note is that very significant portions of engineers either switch out of engineering during college or get a job that isn't related to engineering. (i.e. business, bc of better pay)</p>
<p>to sum up, the undergraduate engineering rank indicates that you will recieve a bit of better engineering education, from more renowned faculty, at higher ranked schools. So, if you are dead-set on engineering for studying and career, go for high ranking eng schools. if not, Brown should be fine.</p>
<p>If I do Computer Engineering and Applied Mathematics at Brown for undergrad, is it hard to get into Berkeley's IEOR grad school or some top IEOR grad schools?</p>
<p>engineering is expensive, which is why larger schools generally do better. You can goto a great grad program from Brown, but probably not as many people stick to engineering as the engineering powerhouses.</p>

<p>^^^ What do you mean by your last sentence? (I ask keefer)</p>
<p>If you are female, Smith College’s Picker Engineering Program is excellent. For those interested in graduate engineering programs, the quality of Smith's engineering program is such that every Smith engineering student with a 3.5 GPA is GUARANTEED admission to the graduate engineering schools at Princeton, Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, and University of Michigan!</p>
<p>You can find more information on the program at: Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program and at: Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program</p>
<p>re: poet #11 above</p>
<p>Brown had 16 biomed, 1 engineering physics, and 52 general engineering graduates.</p>
<p>Brown might be ok for biomed.</p>
<p>I imagine a lot of those kids doing biomed at Brown had the intention of going to med school.</p>
<p>So is it weird that I chose Brown over Berkeley just because I prefer living in Brown....although I want to be industrial engineer?</p>
<p>xalapao/</p>
<p>well, i did say i would def choose UCB over Brown if it's for engineering, but then...</p>
<p>i guess not really that weird you chose Brown since Brown do have the prestige, education at undergrad level shouldn't be too different, and job prospect after graduation should be about the same...</p>
<p>but just in my opinion, if somebody chose brown over UCB for their graduate study in engineering, that would have been extremeley weird at least in my eyes (unless the person already holds BS from Brown and just decided to continue his study in the same institution)</p>
<p>Brown doesn't offer industrial engineering, so don't go there if you plan on majoring in that.</p>
<p>Yeah, Cornell rocks in terms of engineering!</p>
<p>tsenguun/ yeees. i said i wouldn't turn down UCB for Brown engineering, but i turned it down for Cornell. i was even an OoS applicant. </p>
<p>we do rock in engineering.</p>
