<p>I am an International student and have got admit for Master's Program in ECE from the following 4 Universities,
WPI-Worcester Polytechnic Institute(Worcester,MA)
ASU-Arizona State University(Tempe,AZ)
UIC-University of Illinois at Chicago(Chicago,IL)
UTD-University of Texas at Dallas(Richardson,TX)</p>
<p>*I want to know which is well recognized in the industry. I was told that WPI's undergraduates are welcomed by the companies, but what about its ECE masters?
*Which one among these 4 states has more job opportunities for ECE graduate?</p>
<p>I would go to ASU in your position. It’s a big school, well-known, and although it’s not exactly known as an academic powerhouse, I think it actually has the highest ranking (state schools tend to have a lot of research going on). </p>
<p>WPI undergrads have told me that its masters program is a bit of a joke compared to undergrad, but it’s still a solid school. UIC and UTD are both decent mid-range schools for engineering, but aren’t well known.</p>
<p>There are ECE job opportunities everywhere. The top researchers probably end up in labs on the east and west coast, but there are labs and plants in every state you’ve mentioned.</p>
<p>I am also worried about the masters program of WPI. Maybe the master graduates are not recognized in the industry.
And I heard that AZ is not quite friendly to people from other countries. I don’t know whether it is true or not.</p>
