Applied / Engineering Physics (UG) recommendations

For the engineerimg physics major. They are for many majors. You can see at abet.org

Okay, I’m going to go for some low-hanging fruit here. One reach you may want to consider is California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech). It’s one of the schools that’s not ABET-accredited for much (only mechanical engineering) and it doesn’t really matter, because it’s Cal Tech, which has an incredible reputation in the field. It’s 34% Asian, 22% Hispanic, 21% white, and 9% non-US residents. It’s in the L.A. metro area, so there’s definitely an international airport here.

@kiasuamma, do you have post PhD job options in your home country or elsewhere?

In the US, a large majority of corporate roles that employ physics PhDs require US citizenship (because they are either at research labs, govt agencies, defense contractors, etc.). There are also opportunities in academia and a few niche roles like Wall Street quants that provide sponsorship to foreign applicants, but they are extremely competitive.
