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.

Who May Find This Useful

Prospective graduate students interested in RF/microwave engineering and those researching graduate programs in electrical engineering.

RF/Microwave: Grad Schools

What are some good electrical engineering graduate schools in the U.S. that are doing some good RF/microwave research?

In a previous post, las3rjock told me about three graduate schools that he thought were good at microwave engineering: MIT, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Do you guys know of any others?

University of Maryland, UCLA, USC, UC-Berkeley, Indiana U. Look for a school that actually has a strong program in accelerator physics as well. So this could also mean a school that isn't that well-known as the "brand name schools" that is actually close to major accelerator facility. Look, for example, at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Northern Illinois University, University of Tennessee, etc.

Bradley University in Illinois has excellent Rf/microwave program.
 
Any others?
