How reputed in NCSU ECE department (compilers)

[arnamoy]

Hi;

 

I got a PhD admit into ECE department of NCSU, in the area of compilers.  I will be completing my Masters in Computing Science from University of Alberta, Canada.  I just wanted to know how good the reputation of NCSU is in ECE.  Is it a wise decision to go for this PhD after MSc from a reputed university like University of Alberta?  After PhD I want to join a research lab/ R&D of a company.  Please help me out.

 

I am OK with the research being done there and also the professor, just didn't want to waste my 4 years by doing PhD from a lower ranked university than my Masters.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thank you;

Anyone to take this?

I haven't heard of NCSU. I think you should go their if you aim to get a job at the industry in the USA. It is probably not that good for an academic position.

Try to get into a PhD at a Canadian university.

You will be fine if your ultimate goal is to work in a national laboratory or in R&D in industry

Thanks for the inputs,  As compared to NCSU, how will be Indiana University in the same area?

Thanks again;
