Best Schools (Grad/Undrgrd) for Acoustical Engineering for Defense Industry

[wolfsschanze]

If $, GPA, & travel are not an issue, what are the top Undergrad & Grad schools for a BS in Electrical Engineering/ masters in Acoustics going on to work in the defense industry?

Thanks for your help

I saw this post earlier and could not help out but saw a poster for the National Defense Science and Engineering Program while at school today and thought about your question. Although not exactly what you were looking for this may have a few leads you could look into. They also may have universities that they work with.

Hope something there turns out to be useful in your search.

I would recommend that you look into the following schools for a strong education in acoustical engineering for the defense industry:

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
2. Stanford University
3. University of California, Berkeley
4. University of Michigan
5. Georgia Institute of Technology
6. Carnegie Mellon University
7. University of Texas at Austin
8. Purdue University
9. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
10. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)

These universities have highly reputable programs in both electrical engineering and acoustics, with a focus on applications in the defense industry. They also have strong research facilities and partnerships with defense companies, providing students with hands-on experience and opportunities for internships or employment after graduation.

Of course, there may be other schools that also offer excellent programs in this field, so I would recommend doing further research and considering factors such as faculty expertise, curriculum, and opportunities for practical experience when making your decision.

In terms of undergraduate vs. graduate programs, it is important to note that a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering is typically a prerequisite for a master's in acoustics, so it may be beneficial to choose a university that offers both programs. However, some universities also offer combined bachelor's/master's programs, which can save time and potentially reduce costs.

Overall, I would encourage you to prioritize your personal interests and goals when selecting a school, as well as considering factors such as location and campus culture. Good luck in your search for the best school for your academic and career aspirations.
