Discussion Overview
The discussion focuses on identifying reputable electrical engineering graduate schools in the U.S. that specialize in RF/microwave research. Participants share their insights and recommendations based on various criteria, including program strength and proximity to relevant facilities.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about good graduate schools for RF/microwave engineering, mentioning MIT, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as previously suggested.
- Another participant lists additional schools including University of Maryland, UCLA, USC, UC-Berkeley, and Indiana University, emphasizing the importance of strong programs in accelerator physics and proximity to major accelerator facilities.
- A different participant expresses uncertainty about the RF/microwave program at UC-Berkeley and references a specific post for further information.
- Bradley University is mentioned as having an excellent RF/microwave program.
- One participant seeks further recommendations for additional schools.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants present multiple competing views on which schools are notable for RF/microwave research, indicating that there is no consensus on a definitive list of top programs.
Contextual Notes
Some suggestions depend on specific criteria such as program strength in accelerator physics and proximity to facilities, which may not be universally applicable to all participants' preferences.
