Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | Yes, definitely. I think it's a great program and it has helped me grow into the person I am today. |
| Program Reputation | 7 | It's an accredited program. They opened a graduate department about 3 or 4 years ago. |
| Program Quality | 8 | Small class sizes, personalized attention, and good coursework. |
| Instruction | 7 | My 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 Difficult | 10 | I 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. Bookish | We had hands on training. I liked it a lot. It taught me what to expect in the real world. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | I liked the scheduling. I didn't have any issues taking classes at the times I wanted. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | We did have some nice facilities, but it could improve. They should open a robotics lab and update the existing network lab. |
| Social Life | 8 | I had a good time while in school. I loved the events organized by the school. They were social and exciting. |
| Placement Services | 5 | They 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 Network | 6 | We have a decent alumni network but I wish they were more involved and came back to help us in finding jobs with their connections. |
