Hi , I major in Mechanical Engineering and applied for 2015 fall PhD/Master programs. I got some admissions and finally decided to choose from two options: My information: undergrad ; limited research experience; stay in academia or find job in industry are both fine for me Option 1.UMich Mechanical Engineering MS pros: mechanical engineering program's high reputation; car industry = more job openings?(I'm not quite sure); apply to better PhD programs in the furture cons: unfunded! ; too cold; have to spend longer time to get PhD degree? Option 2.UCSD Material PhD pros: funded(fellowship); weather's fine; more job opportunities in UC? (I'm not quite sure); POI is so considerate cons: research area change from solid mechanics to material ; POI is an young AP Is there anyone familiar these schools and programs? I would appreciate any advice from you!
