enter Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Both have good programs, but have strengths is different areas. Ultimately, the decision will depend on the research compatibility of the university and on the funding provided. In order to give a more detailed explanation you will have to tell us more about your background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you compare for example the VLSI in UCLA with wireless or signal processing in Princeton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enter Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Princeton has a small and high quality department of EE, which only focuses on certain research areas. It primarily excels in the areas of information theory, and electrical materials and devices. It has few faculty interested in IC design. On the other hand UCLA does not have the all round ivy prestige, but has a strong EE department. It excels in IC design, and has Razavi (wow!) as a prof and Samueli (founder of Broadcom) as an alumni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
