CharacteristicRatingComment
Would Recommend?yesYes, definitely. I think it's a great program and it has helped me grow into the person I am today.
Program Reputation7It's an accredited program. They opened a graduate department about 3 or 4 years ago.
Program Quality8Small class sizes, personalized attention, and good coursework.
Instruction7My program taught me a great deal about what to experience in the real world. The coursework was very involved and our projects were hands on and difficult. I spent sleepless hours finishing assignments in labs. I would say the coursework was great, but needs improvement in some area such as Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
How Difficult10I spent many sleepless nights in labs trying to finish projects. It was extremely challenging. The work load was even more demanding for me since I worked part time.
Hands-On vs. BookishWe had hands on training. I liked it a lot. It taught me what to expect in the real world.
Schedule Flexibility8I liked the scheduling. I didn't have any issues taking classes at the times I wanted.
Academic Facilities7We did have some nice facilities, but it could improve. They should open a robotics lab and update the existing network lab.
Social Life8I had a good time while in school. I loved the events organized by the school. They were social and exciting.
Placement Services5They tried, but were not extremely helpful. I had to find my internship and my first job myself. They did have some decent career fairs where I was able to make some connections.
Alumni Network6We have a decent alumni network but I wish they were more involved and came back to help us in finding jobs with their connections.
Review your current or past school and help others make better career decisions.
