AI Thread Summary
For prospective electrical engineering majors considering colleges in California, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO) is highly recommended due to its strong engineering program, particularly in electrical engineering. The program is noted for its hands-on approach, providing students with practical skills that enhance employability. The faculty's focus on undergraduate students is emphasized, as there are no Ph.D. students at the institution, allowing for more personalized attention from professors. Additionally, the scenic location of Cal Poly SLO, surrounded by mountains, adds to its appeal. For those interested in a more theoretical approach, UCLA and UC San Diego (UCSD) are suggested alternatives. If applying to UCSD, the UC application online is the recommended method. Overall, UC Berkeley's Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) program is considered the top choice if admitted.

I recently applied to UC Berkeley and Cal Poly Pomona, later will apply to MIT and Boston University. But I want to apply one more college in California that has strong electrical engineering program. Can you suggest me a good college for electrical engineering majors?

Well, Cal Poly SLO is right where I am. It has a better engineering program that Ponoma has. Especially in the Electrical Engineering field. I know the head of the EE department here, his name is dennis derkison. I would absolutely recommend this college, it is very hands on based and you will receive much more employable skills than the other universities. Though if you are more interested in theory of everything, I would recommend UCLA or UCSD. Also, SLO is a very beautiful and friendly area. It is surrounded by mountains. I go to the community college here that is only like 5 minutes away from Cal Poly. Also, the research opportunities here are amazing. Since there are no Ph.D student here, the professors really focus on their undergraduate student. If you get into Berkeley for EECS, I would recommend that over anything else though.

How to apply to UCSD? Do I use the UC application online?

That would be the best way to go about it. :p
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
