<p>How good is it? Do people choose UIUC over universities like princeton, rice, carnegie mellon, georgia tech, etc for ECE?</p>
<p>how about salary and grad. school placement after graduation?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>It is top tier at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The program is hands on and extremely well regarded in the industry and by graduate schools. If it is your in-state for you then it should probably be one of your top choices. But there are also a lot of other programs that are also excellent, many of which are not very highly ranked by US News.</p>
