<p>I was wondering how UCSC's engineering department is. I plan on going to into mechanical/electrical engineering and haven't heard much about Santa Cruz's engineering school.</p>
<p>Also, concerning UCSC, how is the campus life? Like what do you do on the weekends...I haven't been up there yet, plan to, but i heard they have a beautiful campus.</p>
<p>UCSC has only computer engineering and electrical engineering in its ABET accreditation list: [Accredited</a> Programs details](<a href=“http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramsDetails.aspx?OrganizationID=5768]Accredited”>http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramsDetails.aspx?OrganizationID=5768)</p>
<p>Proximity to Silicon Valley may be a plus for recruiting in these fields.</p>
