Texas Tech or U of H Engineering

<p>I am going to transfer to one of these schools in fall, which has a better engineering program in your opinion. specifically mechanical or electrical engineering</p>

<p>[College</a> of Engineering Rises in US News & World Report Rankings :: Texas Tech Today](<a href=“http://today.ttu.edu/2010/04/college-of-engineering-rises-in-us-news-world-report-rankings/]College”>http://today.ttu.edu/2010/04/college-of-engineering-rises-in-us-news-world-report-rankings/)</p>

<p>Texas Tech finally made it on the top 100 engineering graduate programs this year. UoH is not on this list. Electrical is 66th at TTU which has a great reputation…also I know tons of mechanical engineers and they have no problem finding job since Texas Tech is respected regionally (so if you plan on working in Texas or near Texas I would recommend it out of the two). I don’t know much about UoH program but it is near Houston so if you want to work in Houston its def an option.</p>

<p>Both ME and EE are well respected programs at Tech. You can’t go wrong there.</p>

<p>If you want to wind up in the energy industry, UH is probably a good place to go. But not better than Tech in most respects.</p>

<p>For some current trivia, Tech’s engineering school is named after Ed Whiteacre, a Tech engineering grad. He was formerly the CEO of AT&T, and he hired lots of Tech EE’s. Now, he is the CEO of GM, where Tech ME’s will start getting opportunities.</p>
