<p>I want to major in electrical engineering, and I was wondering if any of the Ivies has a strong engineering program? Please reply, it'll be greatly appreciated! I'm also considering Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, and UCLA for engineering btw.</p>
<p>Cornell University and Princeton University are the only ivy league school with a REALLY STRONG engineering program. The other ivies (Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth) offer engineering majors but they aren’t as well-regarded as Cornell or Princeton.</p>
<p>Cornell is traditionally regarded as the Ivy with the strongest engineering programs.</p>
<p>For engineering in the Ivies, I’ve always heard as Cornell being the strongest. If you change to biomedical engineering for some reason, I heard that UPenn is the best Ivy.</p>
<p>Cornell and Princeton both have excellent engineering programs. Other Ivies have them, but your current choices are likely superior to all except Cornell/Princeton.</p>
<p>Cornell has an outstanding Electrical and Computer Engineering program. The research productivity of the faculty is #1 or #2 in the country and they are excellent teachers. I think it is the best ECE in the country.</p>
<p>Cornell has the most outstanding Engineering department out of the ivies I think.</p>
<p>Cornell, most certainly.</p>
<p>Princeton has an engineering program as well. Penn too, apparently, but it’s not nearly as well-respected as that of Cornell or other top tier engineering schools.</p>
<p>Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley are all tops. Look at Carnegie Mellon too, if you’d like a match.</p>
<p>Cornell and Princeton are the top two Ivies in Engineering. Both are good in Electrical Engineering. </p>
<p>Nationally, the top three Electrical Engineering programs are (in alphabetical order): </p>
<p>Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Stanford University
University of California-Berkeley </p>
<p>Other than those three, you have a few other excellent programs, including (in alphabetical order):
Carnegie Mellon University
Cornell University
Georgia Institute of Technology
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor</p>

<p>Hmm, I’m at Cornell, my ECE friends generally have bad experiences with their professors… their consensus is that most of their ECE classes in the first two years are crap (they’re supposed to get better professors around junior year, but I dunno). My CS professors are rockin’ though. </p>
<p>Of course, the research they’re doing in the ECE department is crazyyyyyy.</p>

<p>Ray192-
The ECE professors I had at Cornell were great. I had a TA with one and an RA with another for several years. I had maybe one or two mediocre teachers. Sorry your friends are having bad experiences. But, maybe the problem is them…</p>
<p>I have a friend at Cornell who is majoring in Engineering, and he loves it. Although, you might want to check out the Fu Engineering school at Columbia.</p>

<p>Maybe, but many of them have 4.0+ GPAs, so I don’t think they dislike the professors because the classes are too challenging…</p>
<p>“but many of them have 4.0+ GPAs, so I don’t think they dislike the professors because the classes are too challenging.”</p>
<p>Maybe they didn’t like the professors because they made them work way too hard to get that 4.0+ GPA??? I know that’s how it was with my pre-calculus teacher</p>
<p>Wow, that’s a lot of posts. Thanks to everyone who has posted, it all really helps, I had no idea about Cornell being good for engineering.</p>
<p>I have this opinion that all the ivies have excellent engineering program for undergrad. But, yeah, Cornell and Princeton are probably the more famous ones when it comes to engineering.</p>
<p>although not an ivy, duke is essentially one. if you’re looking into BME, duke is highly, highly regarded.</p>
<p>
OP said Electrical Engineering, noob :P</p>
<p>^looooooooool sorry my bad. didn’t see that part</p>
