<p>I heard that UCLA's engineering major(science in general) is not that great. it is,rather, a school for laws and art, is that true?</p>
<p>true...if you want to go to a great engineering school, try CAL. They are ranked 3rd in the entire country. I applied to UCLA only as a backup because they require atleast a 3.2 for engineering transfers. However, CAL requires alteast a 3.7 from engineering transfers.</p>
<p>what do you mean? ARe the professors not good? Classes not hard enough or aren't structured in the best manner? I'm just curious.</p>
<p>well, the engineering classes at Cal are VERY tough. I don't know about UCLA, but for Cal, i know that doing engineering is probably the hardest major you can do. Engineering at Cal is more theoretical research and their departments have contributed a lot to the engineering/science fields. Prime example, Berkeley added 3 more elements to the periodic table which I believe says alot. At UCLA, I don't denounce their engineering department, but I don't think that their departments are comparable to Berkeley's. In fact, Berkeley has more departments in the College of Engineering than UCLA has. To me, it tells me that Berkeley has a wide range of engineering applications that can contribute to our society. </p>
<p>Speaking about the professors at the two institutions, I know that Berkeley Engineering professors are known for their work. From the type of my head, I can name Seaborg and James Meriam who were engineering professors at Cal that contributed their ideas that changed how we view things. I rarely hear any "outstanding" professors at UCLA in the engineering fields. However, I do not detest that they aren't any "outstanding" professors at UCLA. They are just not known around the world.</p>
<p>Well, let's provide more options to those we want to go to engineering school...let's at least give more than one school that we have a bias for...oh say Cal Tech and MIT.</p>
<p>Where are the UCLA engineering majors who can provide info about UCLA engineering program?</p>
<p>UCLA engineering</p>
<p>UCLA engineering is the second best in the UC system, right behind UC Berkeley. We're generally ranked in the top 20 among the various engineering disciplines, and admission into engineering is the hardest statistics-wise on campus, with a median SAT I score in the low 1400s and a median UC GPA of 4.10. UCLA specializes in Electrical Engineering more than a typical UC would; one-fourth of undergrads in the SEAS are EE majors, closely followed by CSE and CS majors. UCLA has one of the nations top graduate EE programs in nanotechnology, bioengineering and bioinformatics, embedded networks and wireless systems a.k.a. remote sensing. We're also building a California Nanosystems Institute in south campus next to Engineering IV. The defense industry has close ties to UCLA... besides your typical software/engineering companies, at every career fair you'll see Northrop-Grumman, Raytheon, Boeing and other military-industrial firms specifically recruiting UCLA engineering students (probably because of their location in Southern California).</p>
<p>How much will Ronald Reagan Medical and the new medical facilities impact bioengineering in terms of providing the necessary facilities, etc? Is bioeng incorporated into new facilities?</p>
