Masters in Mechanical Engineering/ Product Development

Hi all, I'm currently a rising junior getting a BS in Mech Engineering with a focus in Product Design, and I'd like to get a joint Mechanical Engineering with Product Design/Development degree for my masters.

What are some good schools that has this kind of program? I am looking for best programs in the field. Location wise, the coasts would be the best, Cali, New Engliand, and Mid Atlantic regions would be best, I don't want to be in the middle of nowhere.

I know Stanford offers something similar, has anyone applied/ is doing/ did Stanford's program and would like to share their thoughts?

I did a little bit research, CMU, Berkeley, Princeton rank among tops but I would like to hear about them from people as well.

Thanks much!!

Whoa- out of curiosity, what type of grading system is that? I thought GPA is out of 4?
