the following program is brought to you by cal tech hey, welcome to cal tech! i'm harrison and i'm carson and we're student tour guides here on campus i'm a junior mechanical engineering student, but i'm also involved in the caltech fencing team, caltech robotics team and one of our acapella groups when i'm a junior double majoring and bioengineering in english, i'm involved with flying with the caltech flying club, the president's diversity council and next term i'll be studying abroad at the university of cambridge caltech has a long enrich history in discovery in science technology, math and engineering but you may not know what it feels like day to day to be an undergraduate here at caltech, we're really excited to share with you what makes our experience so unique and fulfilling so let's go check out campus we chose caltech because to us it seemed that the opportunities to become a fantastic scientist engineer, mathematician were unparalleled caltech participates in some amazing groundbreaking research and we get to be a part of it from day one and you're never far from these opportunities not only are you physically close our camp is only about a quarter square mile the walk takes me about seven minutes but you also get to build profound relationships with those around you because our community is so small we've got a thousand undergrads twelve hundred graduate students in a steam, faculty that make our student faculty ratio about three to one and that entire community is built on trust because of the honor code, which states that no member of the caltech community shall take unfair advantage of any other member of the caltech community i really felt that trust as a frosh when i was doing research after my first year, they gave me a key to the lab with like tens of thousands of dollars of scientific equipment that i totally could have broken or stolen it's clear that they're really encouraging me to get out there and be a researcher you're also encouraged to get involved in non stem fields anywhere from humanities the house leadership to clubs to sports here at caltech, we're becoming well rounded individuals it's clear that caltech is creating an awesome and supportive environment and really encouraging us to not only become fantastic students but world class problem sommers so we'd like to invite you to continue exploring and discover what makes caltech a premier institution?

天才该去哪所大学?美国有两所大学是全球顶尖天才的梦想,一所是位于新英格兰的麻省理工学院 mit, 另外一所是位于洛杉矶的加州理工学院 celtic。 现在问题来了,我该怎么选呢?在生活大爆炸以四位男主人公都是在 celtic 可以工作, sheldon 经常嘲笑 howard, 就是因为后者是 mit 毕业的。 那么我应该选加州理工学院喽。且慢,电视剧怎么能信?我来简单讲讲两所大学的三点不同。第一,虽然他们都叫 instit 研究所,但麻省理工学院早就具备了综合性大学的规模,四千五百本科生,六千八百研究生,理工科门类齐全,文科可以直接去哈佛,坐拥全球最全面同时也是最优质的教育资源,你想学什么都不成问题。 反观加州理工学院,直到今天仍是本科加研究生,一共才两千两百人的超小型研究机构,规模只有 mit 的五分之一。没有丰富多元的课程给你选择,也 没有不同专业不同维度的思想碰撞,除了老师规矩的做科研,五光十色大学生活你就别想了。第二,如果将诺贝尔奖结合师生规模,那开奥卡妥妥的世界第一, mit 连的一半都不到啊。 另外一个优势当然就是师生笔,哪怕在 mit 教授一学期露不了几次面,那是常有的事,大多数时候都是博士授课,主持讨论和批改作业。但在 kiotek, 你可以随时敲科研大牛甚至诺贝尔奖得主的办公室啊,上门请。 第三,说到最关键的一点, mit 其实更偏向应用,他的许多科研都与美国政府、军方和企业合作,结果大多能变成活生生的产品,最终改变我们这个世界。相比之下,开奥卡则要硬核的多,做的大多是实打实的理论研究,即使最后变成技术,那也大多是用在航天、飞机、宇宙探索这些不着边际的领域, 相当于为整个人类塑造的未来的命运。所以选择加州理工学院,那多半就是要将毕生献给科学的节奏了。所以,究竟是要改变世界,还是要塑造未来,你拿定主意了吗?

加州理工学院,简称加州理工,位于美国加州洛杉矶东北交的帕萨迪纳斯,是世界著名私立研究型大学公认的最为典型的精英学府之一。 如果是美剧迷,看过生活大爆炸的同学,肯定对加州理工学院很熟悉,因为该剧就是把加州理工作为故事背景地。在剧里, sheldon 和 lana 这些天才科学家都是加州理工学院的研究员, 同样是传统理工学院。相较于麻省理工的工厂厂房式建筑风格,加州理工的校园环境要好的多,整个校园都被棕铝树覆盖,是很典型的南加州风格,教学楼大多是两三层红瓦白墙。加州理工的校园面积很小,大概十五到二十分 中就能绕着整个学校走一圈,但整个规划和建造比较精致。由于录取难度大,加州理工的学生人数也一直不多,全校学生仅两千名左右。正是因为这样一个小而精的环境,使得加州理工的学生更专心在自己的学业上,不断取得突破性的成绩。 据统计,截止目前,加州理工的校友、教授及研究人员中,共产生了七十六位诺贝尔奖得主,平均每千人毕业就有一人获奖,被称为世界上诺贝尔奖得主密度之冠。 此外,加州理工海产生了六位图林奖得主,位于世界第九,以及四位菲尔兹奖得主。著名物理学家爱因斯坦、理查德、费曼霍金莫里盖尔曼、火箭专家冯卡门都曾执教于此。上期视频提到的 中国两大一星事业电机人钱学森便是从麻省理工学院毕业,获得航空工程硕士学位之后,进入加州理工学院。航空系公布博士学位。 参考前不久刚出炉的二零二二 us news 全美大学排名,加州理工排名全美第九。同时,在各大世界排名中,加州理工也一直位列世界前十。 例如在二零二二 qs 世界大学排名中位列世界第六在二零二一月斯六斯世界大学排名中位列世界第七在二零二一太务师高等教育世界排名中位列世界第四。 目前加州理工共有六个学院组成,分别是生物科学学院、工程与应用科学学院、化学与化学工程学院、地质学与行星科学学院、物理学、数学与天文科学学院,以及人文与社会科学学院。 在上期视频中,我们提到,麻省理工除了工科以外,其他比如会计、金融、语言学等偏人文社科的学科也都十分有竞争力。而加州理工则会更加注重工科,其优势学科基本都集中于工程方面的专业。参考最新 us news 排名, 加州理工的工程相关本科和硕士专业均排名全美第四。其中航空航天工程排名第三,电子通讯工程排名第三,化学工程排名第四,机械工程排名第五。 与麻省理工相同,加州理工也以小班教学模式文明,一直以来实施严格的精英式教育。目前师生比约为三比一。加州理工的入学难度是相当高的。据 us news 官网最新统计,加州理工二零二零年秋季的本科录取率仅为百分之七。 除此之外,学校也以课业压力大而闻名,即使顺利入读,最终可能会有近百分之二十的学生拿不到学位, 但学校凭借在科研和师资方面的强大实力,也依旧备受许多理工科同学青睐。进入加州理工,说不定下一个对人类影响深远的科学家就是你呢!关注我,更多留学信息与你分享!

if that means california maybe i'll go with him he is not going anywhere you can go as far away as you want can you open this i'm making spaghetti with hot dogs cut up in it you know there's a lady that does that for us right i was not alone in asserting my independence that day this tiny slice of hot dog also seemed to urn for freedom but sometimes freedom comes at a cost in this case a lowly disk of processed meat would nearly tear my family apart where the heck did it go find the flashlight yes, i also found this letter from caltech i wonder why she was hiding it floor it out i'm not allowed to it's not addressed to me who cares the us postal services of government agency males protected by federal waters all right don't if you do i'll be an accessory to the crime to rest what does it say no don't tell me okay tell me? no don't sheldon if i tell you, but you never look at it then you didn't break the law right? so if i don't actually look at the letter legally, i'm in the clear thank you this has been very helpful and if in the future you have any physics questions janice has my info you see you can legally tell me what's in the letter see here's where i guess fun come on say cheese cheese now tell me what was in that winter you're pretty cranky for princess radio clown missy caltech wants you to go to school there really they wanted touch of mom and dad about it i can't believe she would hide that from me i'm home would you care to explain this letter? which i didn't read but legally know the content stuff how could you not tell me that caltech wants me to go to school there you're not going so it doesn't matter so why don't get a say in this? so dad was okay hiding this for me we are done having this discussion go to your room and you couldn't get either one of them no answer to question dad hey, how are you doing here i need to talk to you how'd you even find me it's not like you come home smelling like coffee all right let's get me drug hi, mr givens oh come on wanna tell me about this it came a couple of weeks ago and since there's no way he's going to california i didn't see the point in him knowing about it he's not just your son he's my son too he didn't feel like your son when he had chicken pox or every morning when i have to make his lunch it felt like my son when i took him to caltech, where he clearly impressed a lot of so you just want to ship our baby boy off to california to live by himself i want to be included in decisions about his future if that means california maybe i'll go with him he is not going anywhere you can go as far away as you want i should have shown you the letter yeah you shouldn't caltech wasn't the only school that sent one are you kidding me well, one was in new jersey and one was all the way in germany well, who says he can't go to school in new jersey don't start you know this is your fault this is about what's best for you? where are you going sleep on the couch, oh baby come here i want dad anyway that leaves us for the big question how do we get your mom on board with going where star just teaches well, how did you get her to agree to marry you oh that won't work she didn't drink anymore so george is mad at me and sheldon is mad at me and honestly i'm mad at me too okay we're rolling hello mother i'd like to present my the case is to why i should be allowed to go to east texas tech next year and i'll keep it simple so you don't get confused stop selling in my teeth, i've put together a presentation detailing the reasons why i should be allowed to go to college and i'd like you to watch it with an open mind i can do that excellent is me more here it's massacre hurts。

i can see myself going here one day if you were interested in text based news about upcoming physics lectures it was a great time to be alive holy moly dad dad i'm in the shower it's an emergency it is steven hawking is giving a lecture and i really need to go where's some lecture and if the answer doubts we're not going good news it's not dallas where pasadena california there's no way we're going to california if steven hawking can make it there in a wheelchair i'm sure we can make sheldon airplane tickets are expensive hotels are expensive we can't afford it but his health is fragile this might be my only chance to ever see him in person i'm sorry buddy, i don't want to ever see that happen again next time something seems out of your reach you do not quit you just dig deeper does that mean if i find an affordable flight to california we can go i'm trying to find the cheapest flight to california for me and my father okay well have a seat are you looking to go to disneyland the only ride i'm interested in is the intellectual roller coaster of steven hawking's mind and where is that located dad good news airline tickets to california are more affordable than you think yeah we're not going yes but steven hawkings by hero even if you got a chance to see jesus or dad got to meet the man who invented beer you thought they would take you to california yes, they would even buy me this book at the book fair i had to get out at the library there's a booger on one of the pages well, i may never get another chance to see him in person suck it up you always get everything you want you got a computer i'm reading a book a book you seem distracted i really wanted to see steven hawking speak at caltech but my parents can't afford the trip wait i may be able to help you with hawking really dad the university offered to pay for us to go to california they were even putting us up in a hotel kid we're going to california no just me and dad that's fair i'm so happy for you sometime sarcasm was late on so thick even i could detect it thanks they started to talk to his boss and they really want to keep sheldon going to school there it's more to document this next time you see me all have been in the presence of steven hawking smile i prefer to look serious this may appear in a textbook someday say steven hawking steven hawking oh you made me smile you okay with your spot doing your best sir captain and mr spock don't hold hands sorry okay maybe just this once i think we've been lying to about california no one on this campus has tan at all imagine all the stimulating conversations that must go on at these tapes how bad i can see myself going here one day。

加州理工在美国的大学里面算是比较有个性的一个,在这个生活大爆炸里面的故事背景讲的就是几个加州理工的那的研究生。这个学校有几个特点,第一,校园配不上名气,人数配不上级别。 卡欧泰克校园,也就是这个加州理工是一百二十四公顷,零点五平方公里,是清华大学的四分之一,北京大学的六分之一,跟国内三线一个中型小区差不多大小,是著名的这个北京天通院面积的十六分之一。二零一九年加州理工本科大一新生入学二百三十七人,一共是申请了六千多人,录取率百分之六点四, 全校本科生九百多人,研究生一千二百多人,教授三百多人,本科生跟教授比例是一比三,这个还是不同年级都算上,只算大一新生的话,老师比学生还多呢,在 us news 二零二一年排名是第九,不过学校这么小,人这么少,而且只有理工科,说明他这个单兵战斗力很强啊。 这个学校历史上有四十人次获得诺贝尔奖,这其中包括他的校友,还有当中的教授,而且这里面还有一个人两次拿奖,另外还有六个图领奖,这个图领奖是计算机学科的最高奖项。卡奥泰克,加州理工的著名教授跟校友,包括爱因斯坦,钱学森,费曼查理芒格,巴菲特的老伙计,也就是 还有就是摩尔,就是提出 cpu 摩尔定律,那个摩尔大概意思就是说每十八个月 cpu 主屏会翻一翻,这个也是英特尔的创始人之一。第二个特点就是加州理工的学生以搞怪出名, 各种恶作剧是加州理工学院的传统,而且不以为耻反以为荣,学校网站也津津有味的列出历届学生各种恶作剧,而且这个还是写在学校新生材料里面的, 可以说是大叔特殊啊。譬如为了庆祝建校一百周年的时候,一九八七年,加州理工的学生把好莱坞那个著名的大标牌,也就是好莱坞的在山上那个牌子换成了他们学校的招牌。另外加州理工跟麻省理工的学生 向来是谁也看不上谁。二零零五年的时候,几个加州理工的学生飞了两千万英里,跑到波士顿把 mit 主楼上的牌子盖住了,换成了 the other institution tikenology, 翻译过来就是说另外一个理工学院,然后他们还在校门口给啥也不知道。这些大一新生发 t 恤 前面印着欢迎来到麻省理工,后面写着说因为你去不了加州理工。另外一些额度剧还包括学生之间打赌说看能不能把汽车放到宿舍里面, 还有就是把别人的宿舍门砌成墙,或者把坐便器搬到咖啡厅之类的,都是小意思。另外非常有名而且改变了历史的一件事就是一九三六年前,我家中理工几个学生因为研究火箭燃料把宿舍给炸了, 学校为了不让他们在霍霍别人啊,就把他们赶到了井里之外的河谷里面继续搞。搞了一段时间,教授希叶多卡马教授看这帮学生没把自己炸死,而且还搞的有模有样,又在校园里面给他们找了块地方,但条件是他们必须补 其数学,不能老这么瞎搞,用这个数学公式来验证他们每次火箭实验,然后一步步的来改进,然后在导弹的这个学生当中,有一个人的名字叫做钱学森,而他们这个实验室一开始看起来像胡闹一样啊,在一九四四年被命名为喷漆推进实验室, 成为美国乃至世界上最著名的火箭跟导弹推进研究机构,地址就在那几个学生被赶出去做实验的核股里面。加州理工的前身成立于一八九一年,是本地的一个财主出钱建的,开始的时候只是一个职业学校,后来由于二十几初一些牛人的加入,再加上罗斯福总统的扶持,快速发展起来, 又经过了一战二战,加州理工成长了大量和国防相关的研究项目,尤其在物理方面取得了极大的发展。加州理工也是深度参与了当年美国制造原子弹的这个曼哈顿计划,这个发家时也是跟 mit 十分类似啊。其实我本人跟这个学校也没什么关系啊,跟大家一样都只是心向往之。 唯一有幸的是,就是我们之前实验室跟加州理工教授有合作关系,每年都会去帕萨迪呢,就加州理工所在地开会,曾经也在爱因斯坦踩过的地砖上溜达过,如此而已。给我的感觉啊,就是加州理工的教授,我碰到的几个都比较和蔼可亲,对学生都是以放养为主,无论老师同学都非常有个性, 同一个院系教授研究方向天差地别。另外就是我接触的几个教授都非常的深入,参与过创业工作,也都不局限于校内另外一个有意思的事啊,跟里面合作的博士生聊天,纯美国白人, 我印象除了研究项目,哥们聊的最多的就是怎么跟旁边帕萨迪呢 cd 考来着社区学院的女生联谊,看来这全世界的理科生的痛跟快乐都是相通的啊。这哥们也是非常接地气,也不知道当年我是因为自我麻醉还是真的有什么不一样啊。就是想当年在别人家人这个加州理工的校园里面溜达的时候,真的感觉 自己就像徜徉在科学的海洋里面。想象当年爱因斯坦跟钱学森也曾经在同样的楼道里走过,忽然间感觉干活也就没那么累了。或许我觉得这也是为啥人要往高处走。其实人前进跟生活的动力大多都来自于比较,在不同的世界里,所谓优秀跟困难的定义完全不一样, 像在这种环境里边啊,你对任何科研方面的困难跟抱怨都显得太过于矫情,对于自己之前所有的成立的骄傲跟自满,自己都会觉得可笑,都不用别人说。最后一点可能大家感兴趣的话题就是收入, 加州理工大学教授薪酬中位数二十七万美金,博士后的话是五万五千美金,博士生津贴一年三万五美金左右,这个真的不低哈,比我当年是高出六成来了。所以说呢,我想问大家一个问题啊,就是当加州理工跟 mit 都摆在你面前的时候,你会选择哪个呢?

要说全球第一理工大学,麻省理工学院连续霸榜几十年,他称第二没人敢称第一。真的吗?还真有一家不服,那就是位于大洛杉矶 past lina 的加州理工学院,你是不是从来没听说过?不怪你啊,因为加州理工啊,实在太小了, 从本科到博士就两千三百学生,国内随便一所九八五,他的二三十倍,虽然规模不值一提,但是出国多达七十九位诺奖得主,排名世界第八,这效率远远远远领先任何竞争对手,简直是学术领域啊, 价格一般的存在啊。那么,天才究竟该选麻省理工学 mit 还是加州理工学院 caltech 呢?不要念 cit 哦,外行了不是谈谈不同啊。首先就是规模,前面说了, caltech 的规模很小,更要紧的其实是只有理工专业。你说理工学院只有理工 专业不是很正常吗?可拥有一百六十二年历史规模五倍大的 mit 啊,经济学、管理学、人文社科和艺术统统世界顶尖。换句话说,麻省理工学院也就是名字还叫理工学院,实际上早就是综合性大学了。第二,综合性大学面临的必然问题就是, 排名上去了,师生比肯定就下去了,哪怕在 mit 教授一学期露不了几次面,那是司空见怪,大多数时候都是博士授课,主持讨论和批改作业。但在 caltech, 你甚至可以 随时敲开科研大牛甚至诺奖得主的办公室上门请教,光这一点,你说得有多诱人?第三,说到最关键的一点, mit 的许多科研经费都是来自政府、 区方和企业,结果啊,大多数都能变成活生生的产品,最终啊,改变世界。所以 mit 的研究更偏应用,学生也更务实。相比之下, towtag 要更理想主义的多啊,做得更 多是实打实的理论研究,即使最后变成技术,那大多是用在航天飞机宇宙探索这些不着边际的领域,相当于为整个人类塑造未来的命运啊。所以啊,究竟是要改变世界还是要塑造未来,你拿定主意了吗?
