<p>I was tooling around the ABET website and searched all ABET accredited engineering programs in California and found out some interesting facts. Here are a few of the top California engineering schools with the number of accredited engineering majors.</p>
<p>Cal Poly SLO – 13 programs (Cal Poly offers 15 engineering programs with General and Boimedical Engineering not listed as accredited.)
Cal Poly Pomona – 13 programs (3 of their accredited programs are for Engineering Technology majors.)
UC Davis – 13 programs (Computer Science and Engineering is listed twice)
UCLA – 11 programs
USC – 11 programs
UC Berkeley – 9 programs
UC Irvine – 9 programs
UC San Diego – 7 programs
CSU Long Beach – 7 programs
Santa Clara University – 6 programs
UC Santa Barbara – 5 programs
Stanford – 5 programs
Cal Tech – only 3 programs!
Harvey Mudd – just 1 program</p>
<p>Cal Poly SLO offers a total of 15 engineering programs. 13 programs in the College of Engineering and 2 engineering programs outside of it. These 2 are Architectural Engineering in the College of Architecture & Environmental Design and BioResource & Agricultural Engineering in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Robert Crockett, the Director of the General Engineering (GENE) Program, Cal Poly SLO has not sought accreditation for their GENE program in order to maintain independence and have flexibility to develop new disciplines such as Biomedical Engineering which came directly out of GENE. </p>
<p>If you include all accredited and non-accredited programs, I believe that Cal Poly offers more variety in engineering than any other school in California. </p>
<p>Interestingly enough, many top schools have no accredited Computer Science or Computer Engineering programs. These include Cal Tech, Stanford, UCSD and Harvey Mudd – really surprising.</p>
<p>Cal Poly SLO has no Chemical Engineering but Cal Poly Pomona does. </p>
<p>Disclaimer: This was the result of about 1 hour of research. If I am wrong about anything, just correct my facts in a reply posting.</p>
