<p>Hi there, I am an international student and I have received AD from Clemson and NYU poly in computer engineering. I would like to work as an hardware engineer but I am not reluctant to learn software issues. I am wondering which is better? Any sort of idea is appreciated!</p>
<p>Overall, Clemson has a better reputation as an engineering school so you should definitely go there (NYU is a great school but it is definitely not known yet for engineering since it only acquired the engineering programs in 2008). In 2011, the Wall Street Journal ranked Clemson as 17th on the best engineering schools according to major companies (<a href=“School Rankings by College Major – Job Recruiter Top Picks - WSJ”>School Rankings by College Major – Job Recruiter Top Picks - WSJ). US News & World Report releases rankings of engineering colleges every year and Clemson ranks way above NYU Poly every year (In 2011, Clemson was 56th and NYU Poly was 78th)</p>
<p>Don’t know anything really about computer engineering since I am a civil engineer but here are the courses you would take as a computer engineering major: <a href=“http://www.clemson.edu/ces/departments/ece/document_resource/undergrad/cpecurricula/2011-2013_CpE_curriculum.pdf[/url]”>http://www.clemson.edu/ces/departments/ece/document_resource/undergrad/cpecurricula/2011-2013_CpE_curriculum.pdf</a> (Course Descriptions: [2012</a> courses of instruction](<a href=“Records and Registration | Clemson University, South Carolina”>Records and Registration | Clemson University, South Carolina))</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions about Clemson!</p>
<p>Thank you for your information! Insights like these are really appreciated!</p>
<p>lol Pierre Arizona State is also #24 on that list. West Virginia #23 lol ? </p>
<p>But between those two I definitely recommend Clemson University, SC.</p>
<p>Arizona State actually has a pretty solid engineering program (best in the state I think). I think the general point is that you won’t have a problem getting anyone to recruit at your school if you are a major state university.</p>
