<p>electrical/computer engineering major. Im doing both.
Please give some advice. How reputation? How good are they? Area? Campus????Financial ( Im international student)?????????????? ( I want to get a job in US after finishing my undergrad career)</p>
<p>I would suggest UCI or CPP. Actually 75% on CPP, because certain companies like hiring people from there, especially EE and CS.</p>
<p>SJSU. Based on location alone.</p>
<p>Which have better reputations in engineering: UCD, UCI, UCSC, SJSU?</p>
<p>If you want to go to grad school, then choose irvine.</p>
<p>SJSU or UCI. If you go to sjsu you can most likely work a co-op while attending classes. I wouldn’t consider ucr or Pomona since they aren’t really known.</p>
<p>For proximity to the industry as well as internship and scholarship opportunities SJSU is the best choice and ranks between #2 - 4 for best state college in EE. If you do well going to (SJ) State is certainly not going hinder any opportunity to go on to whatever grad school of your choice. The quality of education is still very good at SJSU, I just think the school is a bureaucratic hellhole with their lackadaisical laissez faire devil may care attitude and approach to everything, but hey that’s Sillycon Valley for ya. The campus is nice and right in the heart of DT though so there are food places and clubs that cater to the students and stay open late.</p>
<p>The only two CSUs ranked in the top 10 in Electrical Engineering on the 2010 U.S. News & World Report are:</p>
<p>Cal Poly San Luis Obispo at No. 2
Cal Poly Pomona at No. 10</p>

<p>Thanks CalPolyEngineer, the info I provided should be clarified to the category of ‘Non PhD’ level state institutions but am unsure of what other criteria was used. I find many of these ranking number games to be a bit dubious and should only be viewed as general guidelines not some set in stone standard. I still am of the opinion that if this person wants to first work after he graduates from undergrad, he would have easier access to and more opportunities to do so in Sillycon Valley. Posted below is another ranking quote but is referring to masters level which doesn’t necessarily entail quality of undergrad I realize. I think UCI came in somewhere between 38 and 43 this year. I’d actually go to Calpoly SLO over many of the UC’s but that is because of their quality and approach to education which may not be for everyone.</p>
<p>SJSU ties for 19th place for the best overall undergraduate engineering school in the nation,[48] ties for 5th for the best computer engineering program,[49] and places 3rd for the best industrial/manufacturing engineering program out of over 550 master’s-level colleges and universities nationwide, according to U.S. News and World Report</p>
<p>Even though this is 2010 according to 2008-9 rankings on Best Programs in Engineering, SJSU ranked #12 TIED with Pomona for colleges whose highest degree is a Masters. I respect your position and disposition but think you display greater bias towards the Polytech CSU’s in general.</p>
