<p>what’s the student faculty ratio in college of engineering@UIUC???</p>
<p>As a school, it’s a 1:19 faculty to student ratio <a href=“BigFuture College Search”>BigFuture College Search;
<p>Now for the college of engineering I can’t find an actual ratio but according to their website, they have over 400 faculty. [Faculty</a> & Staff | Engineering at Illinois](<a href=“http://engineering.illinois.edu/faculty-staff]Faculty”>http://engineering.illinois.edu/faculty-staff)</p>
<p>So if we look at the first website and look at total undergraduate students: ~32,300. Go back to the website and look at each department, 16% of all the students are in engineering. So 16% of 32,300 is 5168. So faculty to student ratio - 25:323 or if you really want to reduce it down, 1:12.92. So give or take, its ~1:13 faculty student ratio for the college of engineering!</p>
<p>The student to faculty ratio really is irrelevant. As a freshman and sophomore, you’ll be in classes where one professor lectures to 100 up to 500 peoples (like Phys 211/212 or calculus). During discussion sections you’ll be able to work with T.A.'s in smaller classroom settings. </p>
<p>However, once you enter the upper-level courses in your major, you will be in classrooms with one professor and maybe 15-16 other students. In these classes, the professor will host office hours, and one-on-one interaction will be very easy to find. In fact, even in the classes of 100-200 students, one-on-one interaction in office hours is quite common because very few students actually attend office hours.</p>
<p>If you are worried about get a research position with a faculty member, there are plenty of positions available doing bit-chwork, but if you want a good undergrad research position, you will have to make an effort to both learn about the professor’s work ahead of time and find the right faculty member. Thus, the ratio of student to faculty really does not play into the quality of your experience.</p>
