Which University Should I Go To in Ontario, Canada?

AI Thread Summary
Mika is deciding between McMaster University and Ryerson University for electrical engineering after being accepted to both. McMaster is recognized for its strong engineering programs, particularly in mechanical engineering, and is ranked highly in North America for computer and electrical engineering. The discussion highlights that the university's name may not significantly impact job prospects, as employers often prioritize skills and experience over the institution attended. It is suggested that specific faculty, like Simon Haykin, can enhance the educational experience at McMaster. Ultimately, the choice may depend on personal preferences regarding faculty and program strengths rather than university prestige alone.

I applied to two universities in Ontario, Canada; McMaster University in Hamilton and Ryerson University in Toronto, both for electrical engineering. I was wondering, which one should I go to? I was accepted to both universites for every program taht I applied to, yet I am in a struggle with which university to attend! Does it matter when seeking a job, from which university you graduated from? I really don't care about the geography of the university (how it looks like, where it is), I am more interested in knowing if the name of the university plays a role for jobs upon graduation.
Thank you very much,
Mika

McMaster is famous for mechanical

McMaster is one of the premier engineering schools in North America for Mechanical Engineering.

For other programs, employers really don't care (unless the manager went to a university and favours applicants who went to the same one).
 
10th in NA for COmp&Elect...and if you go there make sure you get teh tutolage of
SIMON HAYKIN premier researches in Neuralnets and signal processing..and some chinese dude(sorry can't remmeber his name, because i wasn't in engineering)...I was really pissed when haykin backed out of teaching neuralnets at the undergrad level!

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
