University of Houston for MS in Materials Engineering.

I have been accepted to this university for MS in Materials Engineering for Fall 2015 session.
If I choose to attend this university, research opportunities (research assistantship or internships at a R&D company/institute) and the funding available for grad students will be the most important factors for me. I would also like to know about job prospectives in Materials engg after masters.
Considering the above factors, should I accept their admission offer? The other offer I am considering is by University of Dayton. Thanks.
