<p>I thought I was settled on attending San Jose State for a Computer Engineering Major but a lot of information online suggests that Cal Poly Pomona may be a better engineering school in some regards. The problem is that some of this information is outdate but has nevertheless confused me about my decision. </p>
<p>Could anyone offer any insight on which may be the better school to attend?</p>
<p>San Jose State is located near Silicon Valley, it may not be a better school(I don’t know) but the location makes it attractive to employers to hold recruiting events.</p>
<p>Cal Poly Pomona is more recognized than San Jose State.</p>
<p>If you’re looking at software or computer science/engineering then San Jose is a no brainer. They have the industry connections, location, and experience with computers to make it a stronger option overall.</p>
<p>Now don’t get me wrong, CPP is a fine school, but San Jose just has more going for it if you are into computers.</p>

<p>In Southern California that would be the case. In Northern California, San Jose State is more recognized. </p>
<p>For anything computer-related, San Jose State’s location is a huge plus. From what I’ve read, San Jose State works closely with local Silicon Valley employers to produce the kinds of graduates local companies are looking for.</p>
<p>We are in CO. Last night we met somebody with daughter studying MechE at CPP. Sounds like a good school. She will do a senior group project hext year, I think industry sponsored by industry. </p>
