I am incredibly excited to have been offered admission at CMU and Univerisity of Michigan for both MS in Robotics.
My education background is BS in ME at Umich. I am an international student holding an F1 visa. I have many research experience in control. In my graduate school, I would like to incline my research interest towards control by using machine learning/ artificial intelligence. This means I would like to have some transition from ME towards CS, and this is also one of the reasons why I applied for the Robotics program.
After graduation, I don't know yet whether I want to continue for Ph.D. but I do know that I don't want a programming job.
Some of my considerations (I do not care about the cost or funding issues):
Ranking (in terms of robotics, especially in the field of control or AI)
Location: Pittsburgh vs Ann Arbor - Which one has more job/internship opportunities? Especially for a foreign student.
Research opportunity
Quality of graduate school
I would like to thank you for any comments.
