Can you rank the following in terms of education for Computer Engineering?
Carnegie Mellon University
Cornell University
University of California at Berkeley
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor
Georgia Institute of Technology
University of California at Los Angeles
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Purdue University
Rutgers University
I am sure you can figure out to use google to search for rankings of PhD Computer Science programs. Shouldn’t prospective CS majors know how to use search engines??
But even if you looked up those rankings, that doesn’t necessarily translate to quality of the undergraduate experience. There are many undergraduate only institutions that also have solid computer science.
In any case… at the UNDERGRADUATE level, all of those schools will provide a solid CS education… I’m not sure that you could really distinguish the quality of the UNDERGRADUATE education at these schools… sure, some schools are more “prestigi” than some of the others, but the quality of the undergraduate teaching in CS will be very similar.
Don’t confuse research quality w teaching quality. A lot of professors and graduate assistants regard teaching to be a necessary nuisance activity which detracts from their main focus on research.
