Cal Poly Pomona Aerospace Engineering w/ Northrop Grumman RMAX helicopter

One of the highlights of the day-long event will be the display of a RMAX unmanned,
remote-controlled helicopter, donated to Cal Poly Pomona by Northrop Grumman Corp. The RMAX is about 4 feet tall, 12 feet long and 6½ feet wide, and can carry 44 pounds. Speeds range from 9 to 12 mph. Unmanned, it can fly at an altitude of 2,800 feet; remote-controlled, it can fly at 500 feet. Cal Poly Pomona is one of only three universities to receive an RMAX chopper. Cal Poly San Luis
Obispo and New Mexico State University in Las Cruces are receiving the others.

Which school is better? Just compare how many grads from CPP and CP SOL are working in JPL and Northrope Grumman, Boeing, etc. then you will knwo which one is better. I think right now CPP still ahead.
