Computer Engineering graduate!! NEED INPUT!!

<p>I'm looking to talk to a computer engineering graduate from UCI. </p>

<p>I want to know what their experience was like.</p>

<p>I am trying to decide between UCI and Cal Poly Pomona.</p>

<p>any input or info would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone knows how i can get a hold of a UCI CE graduate please let me know. Thank you.</p>

<p>Chemical Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona</p>

<p>Cal Poly Pomona has a really good reputation when it comes to their engineering program. Their program is really hands on and that it has a more personal feel (in terms of the teacher-student ratio as well as interaction). I also heard that they avoid teaching assistants doing the vast majority of the professors’ work compared to other universities.</p>

<p>Economics at UC Irvine</p>

<p>UCs are the top universities here in California. Even though I wasn’t accepted at the best (UC Berekeley), UC Irvine is still up there. Unfortunately, I wasn’t offered Chemical Engineering (1st choice) but rather, Economics (2nd choice). Now, I could very well take Econ for fall and then transfer to Chemical Engineering by winter. It is a risk but it may actually pay off. Or I might actually like Econ and just stay with that major.</p>

<p>You should also consider the following
Driving to school
Living on campus
Major (Cal Poly Pomona – chemical engineering. UC Irvine – economics)
Internship Salary
Local Company</p>

<p>i would like to know as well. i got accepted as Computer Engineering major. </p>

<p>i want to focus more on the programming aspect, though, and i’m not sure if CE at UCI is basically “Electrical engineering with a little programming” or if it has more to do with programming.</p>

<p>My S is attending UCI CE. I’m also a SW engineer.
Either way…

  • HW engineer (Digital HW board design, HW programming using VHDL-like languages, …)
  • SW engineer who understands HW (OS, Device Driver, Embedded Application SW…)</p>
