<p>I figured EE needed a page since mechanical engineering has one. I was accepted with a 4.16 740m 520v and I’m pretty sure I’m going.</p>
<p>Question… How does Cal Poly’s EE program rank with the other nationally ranked schools? Also…engineer majors get to participate in the Rose Bowl Float building parade?</p>
<p>all i know is MIT has the best program and stanford is second best and UUniversity of texas is third but this is only electrical engineering</p>
<p>Anyone can do Rose Float. It is a club. The club project is the float</p>
<p>Stanford huh... My AP Cal BC teacher got his Master's in Mechanical Engineering in Stanford 5yrs after getting his Bachelors in ME from LMU. He told me private institutions such as stanford may have reputation from being private and being well known in other majors, but Stanford is not that great in ME from his experience. He said that, universities such as SLO which use hands on learning, have better labs from state funding, and use a practice approach rather than a theoretical approach would be better for a young future engineer such as myself. </p>
<p>But then again, thats just ME. Not electrical.</p>
<p>No the point is, CPSLO's EE program is nationally known and highly ranked. Connection between major companies and the program ensure a high paying job after graduation. </p>
<hr>
<p>Retaining its spot -- #9 for Electrical Engineering </p>
<p>Kettering's Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept. continued its Top Ten listing at #9. </p>
<p>Mark Wicks, department head for Electrical and Computer Engineering, said he was very pleased with the ranking. "It's evidence of the strength of our program and the success of our graduates. Several components work together to make our program successful. Two important parts are the outstanding faculty members who are committed to developing a strong curriculum and the practical real-world experience that comes from our emphasis on lab work, student design projects, and student employment at one of our corporate partners," he added. </p>
<p>The top schools in this category are</p>
<p>"Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (Indiana),
Cooper Union (New York),
Harvey Mudd College (California),
Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo (California),
United States Air Force Academy (Colorado),
United States Military Academy (New York),
United States Naval Academy (Maryland),
Bucknell University (Pennsylvania),
Kettering University,
Loyola Marymount (LMU) (California),
Milwaukee School of Engineering (Wisconsin),
San Jose State University (California)."</p>
<p>In the order from 1st to 12th
Cal Poly Slo is ranked fourth, for electrical engineering, not engineering in general.
Thats according to the ranking list of Kettering University, which uses: U.S. News & World Report as their source.</p>

<p>I don't see stanford anywhere on that list, neither do I see MIT. Oh I dont see University of Texas either.</p>
<p>Which makes me wonder, CantTouchThis, what are your rankings based on?</p>
<p>Those are schools without doctorate-level degrees. They are ranked separately. You can use peer assesment scores, however, to compare engineering between cal states and UC's. Cal Poly had a higher score than any UC other than UCB. I'm not sure how stanford faired.</p>
