<p>I assume they are both out of state for you? Do you plan pursue a graduate degree or work in industry after your Bachelor’s? If the former, then look at the research going on at each institution in your area of interest; if the latter, look at industry connections and internship opportunities. I know UW-Seattle has great undergrad research opportunities; not sure about UW-Madison.</p>
<p>Look at the time schedule at both schools for current and past quarters for general requirements, prereqs and upper-division in-major courses, and see how large the classes are and how full they are. Large, full classes are a clue that you may have trouble registering for the classes you need in order to graduate in four years, given the chained prereqs in engineering.</p>
<p>If you still have a toss-up, then where would you like to spend four years of your life?</p>
