<p>How is the Computer Engineering program at Cornell? How would it compare to that of University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign?</p>
<p>A lot of people tend to confuse Computer Science and Computer Engineering; I am focusing on the hardware aspect not software development.</p>
<p>Could you recommend any other good Computer Engineering programs?</p>
<p>Yes. Cornell’s program is very good. Research-wise, it is just slightly behind UIUC. In terms of the undergraduate experience, it is a notch above UIUC as the program is more undergraduate focused and there are more opportunities for undergrads to get involved in research, etc. </p>
<p>Other good private programs:</p>
<p>MIT, Stanford, CMU, Princeton, RPI</p>
<p>Other good pubic programs:</p>
<p>Berkeley, Georgia Tech, Purdue</p>
<p>Hey Cayuga, I’m choosing Cornell over UIUC for electrical engineering 100% sure; however, I would like to know what makes UIUC slightly better for engineering? Research? And how is the interships/work-placement compared in the engineering field for these univs?</p>
<p>Simply the research of the faculty. And that’s mostly because the UIUC faculty is larger.</p>
<p>My sense is that internships/work-placement at Cornell and UIUC are the same for a given quality of students. However, there may be a larger proportion of “high caliber” students at Cornell in the eyes of employers, and part of that reason may be due to more opportunities per student at Cornell.</p>
<p>I’m really not the best to speak on this topic.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks man</p>
