<p>UF, FSU, UCF, and other for Electrical/Computer Engineering......</p>

<p>Im definetly applying to UF and UCF to study Elec/Comp engineering, but I havent heard anything good about FSU's engineering school..</p>

<p>any thougts?</p>

<p>I know nothing about FSU except for its football. But I've never heard anything bad about FSU's engineering,either.</p>

<p>UF is pretty highly ranked for engineering in general. UCF is next best...but it is a significant drop from UF (and is not ranked in USNews top-100, while UF is 28th)...but computer science (not EE) is one of UCF's strongest departments. FSU is not that well known for engineering, but I happen to work with several of their graduates and think highly of them.</p>

<p>yeas but in-state wise, UCF is the next best choice after UF right?</p>

<p>Besides in the long run its where you do ur graduate work that matters</p>

<p>UCF is very good at optical engineering.</p>

<p>In the long run,there's no significant difference between them.</p>

<p>Per US News - 2009 graduate rankings:</p>

<p>The numbers for the US News 2009 Top Graduate Engineering Programs:</p>

<p>UF (graduate engineering): 24
UCF (graduate engineering): 79
FSU (graduate engineering): 92
FIU (graduate engineering): unranked
FIT (graduate engineering): unranked
FAU (graduate engineering): unranked
USF (graduate engineering): unlisted</p>

<p>Why are you showing graduate rankings? Isn't OP interested in undergrad?</p>

<p>I think parent is showing the graduate rankings because UCF and FSU are unranked in the undergrad section of USNews. For engineering, where undergrads may be able to take advantage of research, the grad rankings still have some meaning...and they be more reliable anyhow.</p>

<p>If your utlimate intent is grad school, any of those will get you into good schools if you do well. For that matter, any will get you an interview for a good job as well.</p>
