Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on evaluating undergraduate programs in electrical and computer engineering (EE/CE) at various universities, specifically focusing on program quality, facilities, and research opportunities. The context includes personal experiences and opinions regarding specific institutions.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest that Georgia Tech, University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, and Carnegie Mellon University have excellent EE/CE programs.
  • One participant highlights Carnegie Mellon’s strong reputation in computer science and engineering.
  • A later reply seeks a comparison between Carnegie Mellon and the University of Illinois specifically regarding semiconductor electronics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the first three universities mentioned have strong programs, but there is no consensus on how they compare specifically in areas like semiconductor electronics.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed evaluations of facilities or specific research opportunities, and the discussion reflects personal opinions rather than comprehensive assessments.

Hi guys,

I'm a high school senior, and am currently weighing my options for undergraduate study in electrical/computer engineering. I've received offers of admission from-

Georgia Tech
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign (+ James honor program)
Carnegie Mellon
University of Texas - Austin

I'm interested in microarchitecture, but that might change by the time I get my bachelors degree.

How good are the undergrad programs at these colleges, and how good are the facilities, undergrad research opportunities etc?

The first three are excellent; CMU in particular is known for its computer science and engineering program.
 
Canergie Mellon is excellent for computer science.
 
Thanks for the quick responses guys.

Any idea on how well CMU fares against UIUC for semiconductor electronics, etc?
