Computer Engineering at Delaware?

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>My son has been accepted into Delaware Honors Program with 8K/year. Also accepted into:</p>

<p>Penn State (not accepted to Honors)
University of Maryland (Scholars, not Honors)
Cal Poly SLO (for consideration into Honors at Cal Poly he would have to register to attend first). </p>

<p>We have not heard yet about any $$$ from remaining schools and I am not sure if this means they haven't completed financial packages yet or if son did not get any. </p>

<p>My own ranking of these schools based on my perception of Computer Engineering is:
Cal Poly SLO - sons first choice but so far from NY
UMD
PSU
Delaware - sons 2nd choice</p>

<p>and ranked by cost:
Delaware
Cal Poly SLO
UMD
PSU</p>

<p>I think Delaware is a great school and a great option for my son but wish I thought better of their computer engineering department. </p>

<p>Anyone with any thoughts on Delawares CE dept?</p>

<p>Penn State and UMD have roughly equal academic reputations in Computer Engineering, with Penn State having a slight edge in overall Engineering reputation. I would place both of them over Cal Poly SLO. Delaware's graduate program is not ranked in the top 65, so they pretty much have no reputation in CompE.</p>
