University of California is highly respected. However, University of California at Berkeley (#3 or #4 in the world on some lists) is a world apart in reputation from University of California in Merced. Few people that I know would attempt to argue that TAMU has anywhere near the prestige as University of California. Similarly Electrical Engineering is a world apart from Dredging Studies.

OP, I would think this US-centric forum would not be of much use to you. Perhaps in the International Student thread? We have no idea what the relative reputation is of University of Qatar vs. Texas A&M, Qatar.

I would query a couple of graduate schools in the US (if you think that may possibly be your path) and ask them about matriculation into their school from each of those two schools. That may be one way to gauge their relative reputation. Clearly, from a US perspective, save your cash and go for the full ride, but that is coming from an ignorant perspective.
