It really depends on your personal values. As a matter of fact, I do see school ranking, faculty experiences and facilities three major factors.
The top colleges in California for science or electrical engineering are California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Stanford University, University of California Berkeley, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), and University of California San Diego (UCSD).
According to U.S. News & World Report's 2021 rankings, Caltech is ranked #1 for both science and electrical engineering, followed by Stanford University at #2 for science and #3 for electrical engineering. UC Berkeley is ranked #2 for electrical engineering and #3 for science, while UCLA is ranked #5 for both science and electrical engineering. UCSD is ranked #8 for both science and electrical engineering.
These colleges have highly reputable and rigorous programs in science and electrical engineering, with distinguished faculty and cutting-edge research opportunities. They also have strong industry connections, providing students with real-world experience and job opportunities after graduation.
Caltech offers a variety of majors in science and engineering, including options for interdisciplinary studies. Stanford University has a renowned electrical engineering program, offering concentrations in areas such as circuits and electronics, information systems and science, and photonics and nanotechnology. UC Berkeley has a strong program in electrical engineering and computer sciences, while UCLA offers specialized programs in areas such as bioengineering and materials science. UCSD has a highly ranked program in bioengineering as well as a strong focus on research in renewable energy.
Yes, there are numerous notable alumni from these colleges in the fields of science and electrical engineering. Some examples include Caltech alumnus and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, Stanford alumnus and co-founder of Google Larry Page, UC Berkeley alumna and CEO of IBM Virginia Rometty, UCLA alumnus and co-founder of Intel Gordon Moore, and UCSD alumnus and co-founder of Qualcomm Irwin Jacobs.
