<p>I am studying planning to study mechanical engineering, but i'm not sure which school to go to
Univeristy of Illinois, Univeristy of Michigan, Purdue University, Texas A and M, Penn State, Michigan State, University of Washington, UT austin, and University of wisconsin</p>
<p>can you give me some suggestions? </p>
<p>It would be great if you can provide some information other than its rankings, since that is pretty clear already</p>
<p>If you want anything more than rankings and everyone else’s opinion about what school fits THEM best, you need to tell us more about what you are looking for in a school.</p>
<p>Depending on what you mean, major companies usually recruit nationally. I ton of CS majors from UIUC end up working in Washington for Microsoft. Lots of ME and Aero guys to to LA for Boeing or Northrop or Lockheed. If you go to a reputable school (and most of his are) then companies will come from all around.</p>
<p>Below I list a web site for exploring Engineering as a career. It has a database of Engineering schools that is helpful to see things like how big different schools are in Engineering, how many students are in each type of engineering degree, as well as typical test scores and class rank % for incoming students, etc.</p>
<p>Another consideration is whether the engineering major you want to study at a particular school is accredited. This is important to employers. You can check here:</p>
<p>Because of this accreditation process, undergraduate engineering curricula tend to be similar, but there are subtle differences in first year “intro” courses and last year elective courses.</p>
<p>Consider what part of the country you’d like to be (though they are mostly in the midwest, but consider north vs. south), cost, and size (most of them seem like large public schools).</p>
<p>Every part of the country. Mech E is arguably the broadest of all the engineering fields, and as such, you can get a job just about anywhere. The real question is what industry interests you.</p>
