Explore your potential with Pepperdine, I did. For that, I am thankful for every opportunity I have been given - the relationship and friendships.

tl,dr: Great department. Pretty progressive. Numerous and various opportunities…read more I did MS MAE and BS ME & AE, so my review pertains more to those. Likes: - Killer design classes: Engr7A+B, MAE52, MAE106, MAE172/280, Engr165/265, 245. If YOU don't take these, I WILL regret it. - You'll need Matlab over the course of your curriculum, so MAE10 is a fundamental start. - And while you're at it, make as many friends as you can in your lower-divs. - If you take MAE115, you learn how to predict rain! - Take every class you can with Dr Edwin Hernandez. He's hilarious! - Professor Haithem Taha only teaches the hard courses, so he records his lectures for your review. Super thoughtful. Very open to questions. - MAE175 Dynamics and Control of Aerospace Vehicles (Taha) teaches the fundamentals of flight control! Ever wonder WHY ailerons and elevators work, why airplanes have had high wings or dihedral wings? 175 is for you! - Drs Marc Madou and Lawrence Kulinsky taught MAE153/253 for me. Straightforward class, great teachers! Easy credits. - They have a wind tunnel lab for you to conduct aerodynamics experiments in MAE108. - They have a professional and organized system with counselors to prepare you for success and timely graduation. - E-Week is spectacular. If only the mechanical anteater wasn't a bull. - I guarantee your job will involve design. MAE52 (SolidWorks) is a magnificent start, since they don't teach Creo or AutoCAD here. - LOVE the Engr Career Fairs. So many freebies!! Nonlikes: - Regardless whether you aced 0 or 10 AP exams, still gotta take a BUNCH of lower-divs: Math 2D, 2E, 3A, 3D, Physics 7C CL, 7D 7L, 7E, Chem 1LE. I already learned basic Newtonian mechanics and electricity and magnetism, yet they made me "re-learn" it in 7C and 7D... Wasted talent, time, MONEY. Also, I won't need to know about optics or superconductors, so they should've made Phys 7E and Chem 1LE electives. Interesting classes, but no reason to be degree requirements. - MAE200B was the epitome of useless stuff I had to take. Ruined my 4.0 GPA in order to graduate within 1 year. - You touch on numerous corners of MAE, yet your future job will only use 10% of it. As in, the upper divs (MAE130A, MAE130B, MAE146 to name a few) touch on fluid boundary layers, astronomy, HVAC, even how to predict rain! Yet my job mainly uses skills from MAE52 (transferred my SolidWorks into Creo), Engr54 and MAE150 (stress analysis and FEA), MAE120 (heat transfer). That is, I use only 5 out of the 70 classes I took to get my degrees... - UCI MAE teaches all this theory and research stuff, but does not focus on employment skills, such as using Creo Parametric, AutoCAD, and Catia, or how to manage tolerances (some materials are harder to precision machine than others). Waste! - The engr trailer computer lab before the Fuel Cell Research Center smelled musty during my college career. Hope they AC'ed and cleaned the place by now. - Parking at APS is a pain. Always crowded all the way to the roof all day everyday!

Some of them were outstanding, but others could not communicate in the slightest. But all in all, I felt they were pretty decent. My Engineering degree from UCI gave me a big advantage in my career. It was very simple to get a job with this degree, and I have had a wonderful career.

Danced in front of the stage for the second half of the concert after I digested my "to go" salmon dinner I brought to the show. Such a great fun party crowd and a safe well organized atmosphere. Easy free parking in one of two large lots. Enter the campus through the controlled security gate. Definitely would come back here for another show. Thank you Concordia for hosting the DOGS!

@Emily T That's a gross misrepresentation that a resolution was achieved. That's my call if a…read moreresolution was reached not UCI. I reached out to Financial Aid for Continuing Education funding. I discovered Continuing Education does not offer financial aid since it all has to be approved by a jobs center that intakes applications under Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. UCI reputation is world class because of the students, management and teachers. Every institution has bad and good teachers. Right now with COVID economic depression I can't afford risk being stuck with a bad teacher. Based on my experiences with UCI and other reviews I won't pursue my online training at UCI.

They clearly are biased toward their MBAs and specialty masters are just there to give them money (FYI it's not worth to do a specialty masters) Biggest gripe is they tell you to do the exact opposite of what they teach you because of thier illogical policies Go somewhere cheaper.
