Hello All, I am planning to do an ONLINE MS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. So if you could suggest me universities after evaluating my profile that will be really helpful.I am based out of Massachusetts and I have close to 9 years of hands-on experience in testing, debugging and designing in high speed printed circuit boards. Worked in multiple projects related to the following areas. * Signal Integrity simulation pre & post route analysis upto 1GHz and Power Integrity validation * Experience on complete system design flow --> Schematic to Gerber generation. I have also worked on couple of papers (they are not published in international journals) and attended conferences. My profile GRE score : 315 (Q-161 V-151 AWA - 3) (I am non-native English speaker) TOEFL : planning to take in a month UG - 80 % (BE in EEE) ; Toppr's score - ~85% 12th - 91%; 10th -90% I have very few universities on my mind, but I am open to suggestions or take inputs. I am not sure if I am being too ambitious in picking up these schools. So I kind off wanted to understand ground situation better and pick some safety schools. Purdue Georgia tech UCLA - Los angles UCLA - Viterbi John Hopkins Arizona state university North Carolina state university University of Colorado boulder Northeastern University Boston University Tufts University It will also be good to know about the pros and cons of doing MS in online and will it be feasible working full time? Thanks in advance to all who reply to my post.

I went through this topic, although on one side I am feeling positive but on otherhand I feel apprhensive. I am married, working full time and I am planning to get back to school to do my graduation.It is after a long break (almost 10 yrs now), since I did my under graduation. The course I am planning to pick is Masters in Electronics and computer science engineering. Since I did my under graduation in the same field and I also work in the same field as PCB designer. I know that it practically possible to do masters when you are working. But me and my husband have plans to start the family next year which is when I will be starting my course work. So I want to know how hard it would for me and family to manage all three at a same time? Between I am not in a rush to complete the course within 2 years. I want to take it easy, say like doing 1 course per semester in the initial period and then gaining momentum closer to the end of 5 years. My wish is to get admitted to online degree in one of the good schools, that way I can avoid the commute time. Also when I enquired few grad schools they mentioned that the course should be completed in 5 yrs and 6 yrs in some. Any thoughts / ideas based on your experience please flood in, I need to know what I am actually getting into and be prepared for it.

Hello to all I am married, working full time and I am planning to get back to school to do my graduation.It is after a long break (almost 10 yrs now), since I did my under graduation. The main reason behind this motive is to stay competitive in the market and being in MA is another reason. This place has good colleges around.
