ECE course.

US Universities that provide ECE course (top 100 ranks) ?
Thank you, in advance :)

ur looking at electronics and communication engineering (ECE in India), or asking abt Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE or EE in USA)?

Anyway, IN the US u only have Electrical and computer engineering dept. Electronics courses are a part of it. Like if ur interested in embedded or vlsi or optics or microwave circuits,its all in the elecrical engineering dept.

EVERY university tht has engineering has this dept :) as for top 100, check out this amazing tool i found out - try a goodle search :) and look up multiple options cuz each list will differ....just tht the univ order will change, but almost all the top unis will be presenbt.

Some list will put the order as Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Cal tech...come will put it as Stanford, CAL TEch, Ann Arbor etc...but the bottomline is tht u can take top 10 as almost as par. then next 10 as at par then next 10 and so on.

The question did deserve a little sarcasm from your side, but thank you for replying :)
I've been researching, but I was finding it difficult to narrow down my work. So,i decided to seek a systematic approach and document everything,courtesy the experts and freshers here.
I'm interested in embedded systems.
My profile is (till date)
GRE: 315/340
Q:163;V:152
TOEFL: due 26 August.
HSC: 94.5% (Second in state in Electronics-vocational Subject)

No technical papers written yet.

Can I have a review here :)
If i am not asking for too much,could you help me find the right universities :)
Thank you,in advance :)

My apologies! I was quite serious there. No sarcasm! :-) I too had the ece confusion...and as for google search, I initially dint think it-d help much. But it sure did!

As for ur profile, its pretty good...u can stand good chances at above average unis...try looking up lists and come up with ur own one....post it here and we can try trimming it :-) all the best! And my apologies again for the implied scabsm

No offence taken :) I'll make a list of the universities that provide ECE course (Just to be sure,the course that I am looking for comes under "Electrical Engineering", right?)
If you've any useful links or threads, please post :)

Yes. Predominantly under electrical engineering....and every uni has electrical engineering if it has engineering :-)

Tentative Short-listed universities (May not be in the order of their ranks)

Ambitious:
1.Cornell.
2.Wisconsin.

Possibles:
3.Ohio State.
4.Penn State.
5.Colorado,Boulder.
6.Minnesota.
7.North Carolina.
8.Arizona.

Back-ups:
9.Boston.
10.Iowa

What do you reckon ? :)

Very Ambitious: (both may be out of reach)
1.Cornell
2.Wisconsin.


3.Ohio State - moderate maybe
4.Penn State - ambitious
5.Colorado,Boulder - gettable
6.Minnesota - quite ambitious
7.North Carolina - ambitious
8.Arizona - if its Arizona state, then maybe decent chances. if its U arizona they tend to be erratic

Back-ups: (seriously? :-p)
9.Boston - its gettable but VERY expensive to live in
10.Iowa - iowa state? - moderate.


I suggest u try U penn, UCSD, Brown university, SUNY SB, Case western, Northwestern for ambitious....for safe unis u can look at UIC, UTD, U Pitts, NEU, UNCC etc.....
