It’s not really the school, but the people who go there. Berkeley is harder to get into for engineering (at least thats the stereotype) therefore when you graduate with a degree from Cal it looks better to employers and grad schools. In terms of course work it doesn’t matter where you go for engineering, a mechE at Umich will learn the same theory of elasticity that they do at Cal and UCLA. Since Cal and UCLA are large research schools you’ll get the same 300+ person lectures. If you went to harvey mudd you get smaller classes and there might be a difference in terms of the education.
