I recently began seeing a lot of positive things about RPI but I wasn’t able to tell how accurate all of this information was and what scale was being used.
I am applying this fall as an EE (ECE but most colleges don’t have that) major and I want to focus on autonomous systems and robotics in college and beyond. My current list is basically just the big names for engineering like MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, CMU, GT, Umich, UT Austin, etc. with my only safeties being Texas A&M and UTD since I am auto-admit there.
I have seen that RPI offers a lot of financial aid and so I was wondering how it stacks up against Texas A&M specifically for Autonomous Systems and Robotics. How do they compare in terms of getting jobs in this field? What about the research that is going on there?
