Yes we have taken a peak that as well as what is offered for the upper level electives. A future issue with Cal Poly is that in between the 2 nd and 3rd year the university will be switching from quarters to semesters because of an ill-advised (IMO) mandate from the CSU head office Cal Poly-Pomona already did this transition, so we really have no idea what the last 2 years will look like, particularly in MATE for which there is no equivalent program at Cal Poly Pomona. I think the best strategy for students is to do everything possible to get the prerequisites courses done before the switch to semesters. It might be particularly worthwhile to use that short summer + 1st fall semester to do a co-op if you can get one then. Although a minor issue I suppose, I’m not really a fan of universities with no library which Cal Poly will be during the next 2 years. Even with these annoyances, Cal Poly will likely be high on my kid’s list should the acceptance come through.
