which of these universities is best for masters in engineering-NEU, Boston UT,arlington Mississippi state univ

Question

Which of these universities is best for masters in engineering - Northeastern university at Boston, University or Texas at Arlington or Mississippi state university. Top priority is quality education and opportunities. Cost of living, etc is not a problem.

Answer 1

The main difference between these schools is where they are. I think a person who would be happy spending 3 or 4 years in Mississippi would not be happy in Boston, and vice versa.

For me, Boston would be the obvious choice. NE is very intimately connected with the other universities around Boston and with the many cutting edge high-tech companies. I think you would have more opportunities there for getting involved in state of the art internships and professional activities. Where you want to spend your career life is important too. If you are educatedin TX you will likely work in TX but if you are educated in the Northeast then you will more likely (not certainly, but more likely) be working in the Northeast after graduation.

I'm sure that there are plenty of good teachers at MSU and UT, but there is a world of difference in the surroundings of the three schools.

Answer 2

what are your priorities ? how much can you afford to spend on college ? do you qualify for financial aid ? how is your understanding of fluid mechanics ? physics ? math ? do you know what calculus is ? Going to school will not help you get a better job. BUT...... Experience and Education and "Who you know ?"will get you a better job. So focus on getting your degree. Focus on areas(especially applied sciences) such as math and computer science. In the meantime, look over the want ADs and government websites for engineering jobs that have subset skills listed. And then try your best to find classes(in college) that relate to those skills' set that the future employers are working for. And don't rule out going to community college that is close to you for taking your CORE classes(English, literature, physics, chemistry, etc...) Every college curriculum will want you to take these. It will pay off if the local community college credits will transfer. Consult the department head OR a college adviser. They can probably tell you if it can or will transfer. And honestly, If you know your math and calculus backwards and forwards you can get a job anywhere. Its all about learning how to approach and problem and come up with a feasible, simple solution. And having a letter from your local congressman as a reference will get you very far in the real world "FOOD CHAIN", so do a few hours of community service and maybe help your local congressman/representative out. be involved. and use your common sense. I know all this sounds like crap, but really if your serious about your profession then doing the above will help. graduating and not knowing what to expect OR having a college degree that does not apply to "what you want" to really do in life, is a bit upsetting/depressing.
