Course Curriculum:
Course was leaning towards Industrial Engineering. Syllabus was mostly upto date. School caters mostly to local part time students, does not have full fledged infrastructure to support large no. of students yet. Industrial and research experience is limited.
Fees:
Total Tuition Fee: 55,000 USD for ~30 course credits.
- Likes:
- It was the best option as per my requirement and it has a good location and professors in my field.
Course Curriculum:
I think the curriculum is updated to the latest knowledge available. The courses teach us the ongoing technology and ideas going around the world.
Fees:
USD 28000 per semester.
- Likes:
- PennState has a strong alumni network, which is useful for networking. It has a highly rated public ivy league and has good ongoing research. I liked the course structure, professors, and the project that was going on.
- Dislikes:
- I think the location of the university a bit of a negative. Its right in between nowhere. Sometimes can be difficult for students to get better opportunities. Having a college in big cities is a big plus because they get better opportunities
Course Curriculum:
The course syllabus is good. I think there are few subjects that can be updated well. The lab components in each course gives enough industrial exposure as to what software and technology is ongoing at present. Research work is mandatory, through thesis or non thesis, and in my belief it gives a detailed understanding of the topic and expertise.
Fees:
Its according to the credits you have to take up. It's almost $1500 for one credit. Almost all courses are around 3 credits. 1st sem - 3 courses + 1 credit of colloqium + health insurance = $17,000 2nd sem - 3 courses + 1 cred of colloqium + health insurance = $18,000 (health insurance in the second term is for 8 months so the amount is a bit more than the Fall semester) 3rd sem - I got a tution waver because of Teaching Assistantship so I didnt pay anything this semester. But it would also be about $17K. Last semester - 1 course + health insurance = $8,000 (I was almost done with all requirements of MS so I had to take only 1 course) All in all, if I wouldn't have received a tuition waver, I would have spent around $61K
Course Curriculum:
Of course, could always be better, but there's a lot left up to the student to learn or teach themselves. It's pretty good and all the resources are there to learn well, but perhaps more projected oriented guidance could prove beneficial.
Fees:
They really try to milk you on fees as much as possible. Everything is a fee on top of the already high cost.
