UPenn Vs UW, Seattle for Mechanical engineering M.S.

[ArunPrasanth]

Hey all,

    I have an admit for Masters in mechanical engineering from both UPenn and UDub. Both these courses are unfunded. I did a lot of research on these universities but I couldnt come to a decisive conclusion yet. Cost factor apart, how good are these universities for Thermal Sciences(heat transfer in particular)? Which among these two would be your choice?

I would definitely go with UDub. The school is generally more reputable in engineering programs than UPenn. It is also better ranked in Mechanical engineering. I have known some of the thermal sciences professors and may of them do good research.

 

Is the location not a factor for you?

Everything else aside, visit UDub once and you'll fall in love with it...
