Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

<p>How are the engineering programs at Irvine? I know Irvine is good for premed, but is Irvine even a somewhat distinguished school in the field of engineering?</p>

<p>I thought Irvine is known for their engineering. Although I favor UCD, people normally picture UCI over UCD for engineering.</p>

<p>it isnt bad fo shizzle.i think its the same as the davis engineering department..rank wise? (edit: irvine is lower than davis slighty) top engineering schools in the UCs are ucb,ucsd, and ucla.</p>

<p>Not to be a UCI troll but that's not that big of a difference...</p>

<p>As my dad says, undergraduate engineering can be done anywhere. Because your name is integratypeR, I would suggest you go to the university of civics and integras (haha, just a joke). To be honest, I'd pick ucd over uci because of other factors outside of the engineering department. I want to experience Kemper Hall (engineering building at Davis) anyway. I saw some engineering students sleeping on the couches in the lobby on admit day. That was awesome >=).</p>

<p>Pick the right school for you! I'm sure you'll be happy anywhere.</p>

<p>i dont get how sleeping on couches is awesome...some weird fetish for engineering students?</p>

<p>It shows that there is competition and hardworkers at Davis. I'm going into the engineering field and Davis is always looked at as "chill" in terms of competition. I really want to put up with some competition; it sounds fun. A lot of my asian friends look down on engineering because all of our parents have majored in it (all our parents are asian immigrants), and I want to let them know it's not easy!</p>

<p>lol, you probably saw me jas0n :P. But I'm not an engineering student I just work there.(I have taken a number of CS classes though.)</p>
