Looking for a movie reviewer
Would you like to review
a great movie for Engineering News? We are looking for students to give
us their take on the movie “What the #$*! Do We Know?” playing
on Shattuck near the University. The movie is about the connection between
quantum physics, our minds and spirituality. The best review gets tickets
for two to a movie of their choice. If interested please e-mail editnew@coe.berkeley.edu
UC Berkeley holds rank as number one public college, and Berkeley
Engineering remains at third
U.S. News & World Report
ranked UC Berkeley 21st among U.S. colleges. The first 20 colleges are
private, which makes Berkeley the top-ranked public college in the country,
according to the magazine.
Last year Berkeley tied with the University of Virginia for the number
one spot, but this year Virginia tied with the University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor for second place among public universities.
The College of Engineering’s undergraduate program retained its
spot at number three below MIT and Stanford. Despite struggling with
the crippling budget crisis that has hit the UC system, Berkeley has
steadfastly held on to its coveted slot as one of the top three engineering
schools in the nation. For more on the rankings go to www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankengineering_brief.php
