My mother is a civil engineer and attended UCI her first 2 years and transferred to CPP. Civil engineers usually choose a career in either design or construction, in other words working for an engineering firm designing projects, or for a contractor building projects. My mother works for a contractor and they recruit locally out of CPP, SLO, CSLB and USC and not so much out of UCI. I think it depends on what you want to do after you earn your degree. If you want to further your education and pursue a master or doctorate, then I think UCI might be better suited for that. If you plan to get your degree and go to work in a design firm I think both are pretty much equal, but if you’re interested in the construction side of the industry then in my opinion CPP would be a better choice. I think the most beneficial thing that you can do to make yourself more marketable for the job market after graduation is to pursue an internship. My mother’s company makes offers to many of their interns after graduation.
