I'm trying to figure out the best options for studying computer engineering in North Carolina. Does anyone have recommendations on schools that stand out for their programs or opportunities?
Certainly, North Carolina has a few institutions with strong offerings in Computer Engineering.
For starters, North Carolina State University (NCSU) in Raleigh has a highly respected College of Engineering. It offers an undergraduate major in computer engineering that provides students with a foundation in hardware and software design.
Secondly, Duke University in Durham also offers a strong program through the Pratt School of Engineering. While technically an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree, it provides extensive instruction in computer engineering, and Duke's resources and reputation can open many doors for its graduates.
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) also offers a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, with opportunities for internships and co-op experiences that can give students hands-on experience in the field.
Each of these universities offers unique advantages; your choice would depend on your personal goals, learning style, financial situation, and preferred university culture. Be sure to visit each school to get a feel for the campus and to meet with advisors in the engineering program. You might also want to consider contacting current students or alumni from each program. They can provide you with first-hand insights that can help inform your decision.
