Located in West Lafayette, Indiana, Purdue University is one of the preeminent engineering schools in the world. The electrical and computer engineering technology department offers bachelor and postgraduate opportunities for students interested in electrical engineering. According to Purdue's website, the program provides "state-of-the-art laboratories from faculty with industry experience," and students can expect immediate work opportunities with a "placement rate greater than 90 percent" for graduates.
Credited with having the "first electrical-engineering curriculum" in 1882, MIT is considered by many to be the premier engineering and technology school in the country. Undergraduates start in a broadly based electrical engineering and computer technology program that quickly specializes over the course of their four-year degree. The university is widely renowned for its work in the research of all engineering and technology fields. The faculty of MIT are some of the elite in their individual subjects.
Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis School of Engineering and Technology, or IUPUI as its often referred to, is a joint venture between Purdue and Indiana University in the heart of a teeming urban area. As such, the school carries with it the respect and comparable programs of both nationally renowned institutions. The undergraduate Bachelor of Science in engineering course of study is designed to give students an interdisciplinary education. The program is run by and based off the curriculum of Purdue's electrical engineering program.
Located in Palo Alto, California, the history of Stanford's electrical engineering program "can be traced along technical and professorial lines with its birth in central power station engineering in 1893," which makes it second only to MIT's in age. The curriculum consists of a well-rounded education in general theory surrounding electrical engineering and a specialized subject within the field in addition to the liberal education given to each student of the university. Students should expect an equal amount of time spent on mathematics and science to prepare for and complement the electrical engineering studies.
