Suraj Pawar Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi, I am currently preparing for the GRE, and am researching on universities and programs to apply to. Needed some help/thoughts on what field of study I should chose. I have completed MechE from a leading university in India (BITS Pilani, Goa ; CGPA 8.1/9), and have 3 industrial projects which are diverse (CAD modelling, IC Engine Research, Automated Testing Fixture Design). I have been working as an engineer in a leading Test and Measurement company (National Instruments) and have expertise on LabVIEW, Embedded Real-Time programming through LabVIEW and Test and Automation, Motion and Vision. I have experience of field selling in the same company. I think I am interested in a Robotics/Mechatronics related field, but am also exploring Automotive Electronics. Based on the above information, what do you guys think could be the right course/field for me to apply to ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

GKIII Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Sounds like you'd want something along the lines of a Control Systems focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChris93 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Look at professor profiles of programs you are interested. If their research sounds interesting, read a couple of their papers. That's how I found my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suraj Pawar Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Chris, Thank you. I will try this. My initial search would be to broadly sort professors from the field of Mechatronics, Automotive Electronics and Robotics. Let`s hope drilling down on their research gives me a better idea. -Suraj iChris93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotating_flammable_quark Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 You should checkout NC State for their graduate electrical engineering programs. They have many diverse tracks some of which are related to electric cars. Is there some other reason you would want to come to America as an international student? I have lived in the states my whole life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
