<p>I will prob. attend MSU instead of U-M due to costs. How reputable is the undergrad computer engineering/science program. How does it compare to U-M's program.</p>
<p>not comparable.
U of M is a top 25 overall college and top 10 engineering program.
State’s reputation is regional.</p>
<p>I really don’t see where Michigan State’s engineering isn’t as good as Umich. I have known people who graduated in engineering from both universities and they ended up with good jobs in different parts of the country! I say go to MSU. I know so many people who wish they could get into engineering at MSU!</p>
<p>I can’t find the exact undergrad rankings for computer engineering, but our engineering school is ranked #43 (USNews). I’m an electrical engineering major, if you have any questions.</p>
<p>yeah i have couple questions. thanks. how is the employment rate for msu engineering, do a lot get employed after undergrad graduation? how is the acceptance rate to reputable grad schools? How long does it take to graduate for most student? are the freshman level courses hard, as in they try to weed out inept student?</p>
<p>Expect to go to MSU at least 4 1/2 years to get an engineering degree. Some people take 5 years.</p>
<p>I’d also like to know how the grad school placement is for engineering? If you do well, will you be considered for top grad schools?</p>
<p>I’m not sure about employment and grad school, I’ll do some research and get back to you.</p>
<p>As for how long you’ll be here, it really depends on if you came in with AP credit and what kind of a course load you end up taking. I’m on track to graduate in 4 years, but I came in with 15 credits from AP tests. It’s normal to graduate in 4.5 years.</p>
<p>You’ll end up taking chemistry, physics, calculus, and intro to engineering courses during your freshman year. CEM 141 and PHY 183 & 184 are definitely weed out classes, but they’re bearable if you’re willing to study. Some people find that calc is a weed out class, but I don’t think so, it depends on how good you are at math. EGR 100 & 102 are fairly easy. EGR 100 is an introduction to the different types of engineering and is a really easy class. EGR 102 is about mathematical modeling and programming in MATLAB. It’s definitely harder than EGR 100, but it’s not a bad class.</p>
