Schools Information on certain universities

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on evaluating several universities for undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Maths, and Computer Science. The universities in question include Fairleigh Dickinson University, Rowan University, and New Jersey Institute of Technology, all located in New Jersey, as well as Northeastern University in Boston. Key points of interest include a comparison of the engineering and physics programs at these institutions relative to other U.S. universities. Northeastern's co-op program is highlighted for its unique structure, offering practical experience but extending the degree completion time to five years. Participants are encouraged to share insights on the strengths and weaknesses of the co-op system and to rank the New Jersey schools based on their engineering and physics offerings.

Hello,

I just needed some information on a few universities, to which I am thinking of applying as an undergrad. My interests are Electrical Engineering, Physics, Maths and Computer Science.

Here are the schools :

Fairleigh Dickinson University (NJ)
Rowan University (NJ)
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJ)

Northeastern University, Boston

I would appreciate to know how mainly their engineering and physics programs compare with other universities in the US.

I know that Northeastern has a coop program, which does seem quite interesting. What are the advantages/disadvantages for that system (it takes 5 years to complete the degree in the coop system, but it does provide the students with some valuable experience)

Also, among the NJ schools, which one would you place over the other.

Thank you,
Ayman

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
