Colleges in western Pennsylvania?

I'm interested in exploring colleges in western Pennsylvania for my undergrad studies. Can anyone suggest some schools and provide information on what they offer, particularly for engineering?

Sure, I'd be happy to offer some suggestions of colleges in western Pennsylvania that have strong engineering programs:

1. Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) – Located in Pittsburgh, CMU is highly prestigious and has an especially robust engineering program. It offers various specializations including Civil, Mechanical, Biomedical, Electrical, Computer Engineering, and others. It's renowned for its interdisciplinary approach, combining technology, business, arts, and more, aiming to prepare students for the ever-evolving real-world scenarios.

2. University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) - Also located in Pittsburgh, Pitt's Swanson School of Engineering offers programs in areas like Chemical, civil and environmental, electrical and computer, industrial, and mechanical engineering among others. It also offers programs emphasizing sustainable engineering.

3. Pennsylvania State University – Although Penn State's main campus isn't exactly in western Pennsylvania, the university maintains several branch campuses in the area such as Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. They offer engineering programs in Mechanical, Software, Plastics, Electrical, and Industrial engineering, to name a few.

4. Robert Morris University - Located in Moon Township, Robert Morris makes for a sound choice for studying engineering. The School of Engineering, Mathematics, and Science offers a variety of programs such as Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Software Engineering.

Remember, each of these schools will have their own class, GPA, and testing requirements—and possibly additional requirements for their engineering programs—so I recommend researching each one in more detail to get a sense of which programs and environments might be the best fit for you.
