Schools Best VLSI Grad Schools: Find Your Fit for MSEE

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the best graduate schools for VLSI design within the field of electrical engineering (EE). While top-tier "super-brand name schools" are recognized for their strong EE programs, many lesser-known state universities also offer quality education. Specific institutions mentioned include the University of Maryland and the University of Texas, which are considered for their VLSI programs. There is a query about the existence of a ranking system that categorizes EE grad schools by sub-fields, indicating a need for more targeted information on VLSI design programs. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of finding a school that aligns with specific interests in VLSI rather than solely focusing on brand recognition.

What are the best grad schools for VLSI design? What about decent grad schools? I have almost completed my BSEE, and I'm looking to apply for an MSEE. I'm not really interested in going into academia, so I'm not going to be applying to super-brand name schools.

Is there a ranking system for EE grad schools that breaks the ratings into specific sub-fields of EE?

Thanks.

The best schools for electrical engineering are, in fact, the "super-brand name schools." On the other hand, you'll also receive an excellent education at many lesser-known state schools.

Do you happen to know any with a particularly good VLSI program? I went to take a look at Penn State, but it seems their focus is strong in other areas besides VLSI.

I was thinking U of Maryland or UTexas, perhaps.
 

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
