<p>I am a rising senior and want to know about the quality of Riverside's engineering program. Is it better than Cal Poly Pomona? Are the professors/research opportunities decent?</p>
<p>UCR’s engineering is better than Cal Poly Pomona’s! Why? Cal Poly is not a research institute, so you won’t get any opportunites of research during your school years, and that’s all they care about these days for grad school. So if you may want to goto Grad School in future, choose UCR. Okay, wat if you dont’ want goto Grad school, UCR is still better, WHY? UCR has a much better faculty to student ratio, it has much more facilities and resources than Cal Poly, and its engineering students often find a much better job than Cal Poly Pomona’s. (based on personal experiences)</p>
<p>Which major would you perfer?</p>
<p>I know that Cal Poly SLO REQUIRES a senior project, so you have to do research to graduate. I’m not sure if Pomona requires the same, but SLO is also not considered a “Research School.” There were and are many opportunities for research at CSU’s.</p>
