<p>I am looking forward to next year in college and after being accepted to Brown and Cornell for electrical engineer, I don't know which one to choose. I plan on doing research during my undergraduate study. Which electrical engineering program is strongest for an undergraduate education?</p>
<p>I have never visited Brown, so I cannot personally tell you which program is better than the other. As an engineering student at Cornell, however, I can tell you that Cornell’s program is pretty solid, for lack of a better term, lol. There is no direct “electrical engineering” major here (it is combined with computer engineering, so there is heavy overlap with programming), but there are opportunities here for undergraduate research–all you literally have to do is email professors who happen to be conducting research in a field similar to your interests ( I’m sure you can do this at Brown too! but keep in mind, Cornell is larger and therefore has more professors which = more chances of scoring an awesome research position). The engineering college on campus is huge and highly specialized too; there are buildings solely dedicated to each major, so if you do change your mind about ECE (electric and computer engineering) there are several other majors to choose from within the college that are not worse than any of the others. Let me know if you have any specific questions about Cornell engineering. I’ll try my best to answer.</p>
<p>If you’re an engineering major and choosing among ivy schools, then Cornell is the right choice. If you’re looking for a top top engineering programs, then you probably should attend MIT, Caltech, or Stanford. But if you’re choosing btw Brown and Cornell, and if you intend to major in engineering, Cornell looks like a more reasonable choice.</p>
