College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>I am looking for <em>any</em> feedback on the following colleges for EE major. Eventually, i want to do masters and job in Semiconductor research.</p>

<li>Univ. of California - San Diego</li>
<li>Univ. of Washington - Seattle</li>
<li>Univ. of Portland</li>
<li>Portland State Univ</li>
<li>Oregon State Univ</li>
</ol>

<p>My preference is to stay close to Portland but still get the quality of education as close to UCSD/UW as possible. Specifically, please let me know if you think the quality of education between UCSD/UW is vastly different from UP/OSU (or PSU).</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>ucsd can give you a great education if you want to eventually get into semiconductors for the masters degree. at ucsd one of the requirements for an undergraduate EE major is to take a sequence known as a depth sequence. and you are in luck because semiconductors is a depth sequence and you actually get to build stuff in several lab classes where you wear a space suit and get to enter in a super secret restrictive area of campus. this should help you in your semiconductors journey.</p>

<p>Proton,</p>

<p>Thanks!! thats excellent news. I didnt know of this 'depth sequence'. I will mark it as a special advantage for ucsd. </p>

<p>Do you have info on how the profs teach the courses? Meaning, do they foster thinking or are their assignments and tests too bookinsh?</p>

<p>Feel free to comment on other schools as well.</p>

<p>All, Could you please comment on the other schools as well?</p>

<p>if you scroll down to pard "d" of this link Electrical</a> and Computer Engineering (ECE)</p>

<p>there is more information on the program. actually semiconducors is listed under "electronic devices and materials"</p>

<p>from what i know of the profs. there is a whole lot of lab work.</p>

<p>here is the description of the classes under the depth course</a> descriptions</p>
