<p>I know many people suggested looking at some very prestigious schools. That being said, my son is a junior computer engineering major at University of MD -College Park and he (and his parents!) is thrilled with the internship opportunities. He had internships lined up since the completion of his freshman year. His internship also offered to have him work part-time while finishing up his degree and there is some beginning talk about him signing on to work full time when he greaduates. I have heard him talk about some of his peers who also have paid internships that have turned into or are in the works of turning into job offers. Additionally, he has an interesting research opportunity with one of the professors. One of the things I like about Maryland is the proximity to D.C. and the opportunities that provides (Hopkins Hospital, government jobs, NIH,…). He has been so pleased with the computer engineering program at Md. that he is considering taking the 5th year to get his masters, but is weighing his options.</p>
