Which university in Canada and America has a pretty good specialty of Electric and Electronics Engin - General

I major in Electronics and Electric Engineering,electronics panel,circuits,those sort of things. Just got my TOEFL grade report. 109, which really thrilled me,beyond my expectation.And my GRE score is 150+168+4,quite plain. Now I am dedicated to preparing various materials for my application, PS, WE, CV and so forth. But the first thing baffles me is which university to choose. I don't know much about universities that have this specialty in America and Canada. Could you guys please give me some recommendations.

Hell if I know what that score was, and I'm not sure Canadian universities will care about it. As for engineering, University of Toronto is Canada's best university, University of British Columbia and McGill University are both very well renowned as well. University of Waterloo is also very well known for engineering, as is the Royal Military College, but you have to join the military to get in there.

Yea, generally Canada's choices are UToronto, McGill, UWaterloo in the East, and UBC West. United States, off the top of my head, MIT, CalTech, Stanford, Georgia Tech, UCBerkley, UCLA, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, etc

It depends on which state/ province you'd want to go to (Canada has provinces right?) because if you go to Florida but hate muggy, hot weather, and old people, then Florida is a bad choice.

I think Auburn is a good choice, they're pretty well know for their eigneering school,pharmacy, and Vry school. Plus Auburn is a pretty nice place to be, nice people and such other option might be UaH in Huntsville.

BCIT in the lower mainland of British Columbia is pretty good, but tutions high and so is the cost of living here.

I'm transferring from my community college to [URL="http://www.bradley.edu/"]Bradley University[/URL] next year for Electrical Engineering (with Computer Option). They specialize in business and engineering, and are on of the best engineering colleges in the state. It's private, but the classes are small and the quality of education is very good. I would definitely recommend it. [editline]10th October 2013[/editline] Also, you don't need an amazing GPA to get in like MIT or some other top-of-the-line school.

If you have your sights set on Canada just go where it's the most affordable. The name of the school matters far less here than it does in the US.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;42484315]If you have your sights set on Canada just go where it's the most affordable. The name of the school matters far less here than it does in the US.[/QUOTE] Depends on your employer. (and if you want to work in the US later)

If you for some reason find yourself in California, UCLA will be the only wise choice when considering Engineering. It's one of the most prestigious universities in the US when it comes to Engineering and a lot of people that graduate with an Engineering BA/Masters from there usually find themselves in a high-paying job the moment they graduate.

[QUOTE=Angus725;42484341]Depends on your employer. (and if you want to work in the US later)[/QUOTE] Most US employers won't know the difference between the University of Toronto and the University of Saskatchewan anyway, but your bank account afterward surely will

If you want cheap, but great quality education for a Master's, consider Mississippi State University in Starkville, MS. I'm an Senior Undergraduate in the CSE department, but I know a few people getting there PH.D in the Electrical Engineering department, and they all seem to like it a lot. It also helps that we are the engineering school for Mississippi. We may not be the best like MIT, CalTech, or Georgia Tech, but we are pretty fucking cheap for the quality you get.

There are plenty of people who have become successful out of public or lesser known schools.

I would just recommend (both Canada and US) to go for the school with the best bang for your buck. Not sure how it works in Canada, but I would recommend going to the best publicly funded school available to you (UC, SUNY, etc.)

Kettering University and Michigan Tech are pretty good. Kettering has a graduation requirement of a full time paid co-op. Basically, you go to school for 3 months, then you're off for 3 months working as a full time co-op getting paid. That repeats until you graduate, though it brings it to a 5-year school.

Well for the US, other than those obvious famous schools (MIT, caltech, georgia tech etc.) Univ. of Illinois Urbana Champaign Univ. of Michigan Ann Arbor Purdue University UT Austin are often overlooked but their engineering programs are up there with the best (and will be easier to get into) [editline]16th October 2013[/editline] oh and RPI [editline]16th October 2013[/editline] well RPI not so much as the other four I mentioned

Here's one list I found on the internet. Obviously a ranking on one particular site isn't all that matters, but it should give you a general idea.

(Especially true for undergrad). The more difficult it is to get into an university, the usually more interesting people are in it. Increasing your chances to meeting the next Bill Gates, etc.

Disagree. Something that makes the University of Illinois such a great physics school is their approach to teaching.

[QUOTE=Falubii;42554609]Disagree. Something that makes the University of Illinois such a great physics school is their approach to teaching.[/QUOTE] Mind explaining it in more detail?

[QUOTE=Angus725;42560823]Mind explaining it in more detail?[/QUOTE] Four of the physics professors at the University of Illinois actually commit their research time to physics education. Where as most university physicists work on current problems in physics, these guys research how to best teach it. A little piece of tech you may be familiar with (or not), the [url=http://www1.iclicker.com/]i>clicker student response system[/url], was actually created by this research group. They're also trying a new approach to lectures by using an online system called SmartPhysics where students watch prelecture videos that cover the basic concepts of what will be discussed in lecture before class. This allows the professors to know what aspects of the lecture students find confusing before it even begins. These are just two examples, I'm sure they're responsible for lots of other things. tl;dr Our physics department kicks ass and is constantly innovating the way physics and other subjects are taught. [editline]24th October 2013[/editline] I do agree with you that you can't have a good university without dedicated students as well.
