<p>How does its engineering dept. rank among other CA public schools? (Specifically SLO)</p>
<p>my brother goes to SLO and he LOVES it!!!
he just got a great internship down at edward's airforce base...
also, my dad works as a mechanical engineer in silicon valley, and cal poly grads are ALWAYS at the top of his list when he hires people.
just a thought : )</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, sarah</p>
<p>Among the various California public schools, the engineering pecking order goes UCB, UCLA, UCSD; Cal Poly SLO is never ranked among these three because the rankings place it separately among the Cal States and other non-Ph.D-granting institutions. If I had to place the rigorousness of Cal Poly SLO's engineering somewhere, I would say it is tied with UCLA's. I competed directly against Cal Poly SLO in the ACM ICPC Southern California regionals this year and their best team actually managed to edge us out. :rolleyes:</p>
