<p>My suggestion is to go to Welcome</a> to TryEngineering.org On that page you will find a university search engine for engineering schools that will allow you to specify some of the characteristics you're looking for, including the type of engineering you are interested in. Each profile will include information about the admitted stats of students in the engineering department. Sort them out, visit their websites, and you'll soon have a nice list going. Good Luck!</p>

<p>If you're in California, look at Cal Poly SLO and USC. You're in at one or more of the UCs although no guarantee for UCB/UCLA.</p>

<p>If you are female, Smith College’s Picker Engineering Program is superb and has a wonderful approach to teaching engineering. In addition, you get an excellent liberal arts education. Smith is known for academic excellence, terrific advising and mentoring and available, committed professors. </p>

<p>Smith is also part of the 5-college consortium (with Amherst, Hampshire, Mt. Holyoke and Univ Mass). You can take classes at any.</p>

<p>You can find more information on their engineering program at: Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program and at: Smith</a> College: Picker Engineering Program</p>
