[quote=Anonymous]I went to an engineering undergrad (e.g., RPI, Case Western) before getting a STEM PhD at UCLA (during which I TA'd for 5 years). By most objective measures the undergrad students at UCLA started out "smarter" than my undergrad. But grads from my school could destroy a UCLA undergrad by graduation. The education was leaps and bounds better. Professors were more engaged, there were more design projects, the labs were better resources, more undergrads did research and engineering/tech extracurricular, and the curriculum was better planned out. In my experience at UCLA, the profs didn't want to be teaching, waaaaay too many calculus and engineering exams were multiple choice, and the students were poorly engaged in their major. My undergrad curved to a 2.6 so I'm sure our GPAs were lower than UCLA, but it in no way reflected what we learned.[/quote]
