What is it that you ultimately want to do? If you want to get a job as a researcher at a top company, or if you want to be a professor, then it’d maybe be a good idea to go for as good as you can get, if money’s not a horrible problem (though University of Alabama has, I’m sure, produced its share of fine researchers and academicians in engineering).

If you want a good job with a good company, U of Alabama would be just fine for that. Good companies hire people from pretty much everywhere, even some of the more obscure programs.

Do explore all your options, though. Keep Alabama as a strong backup, see how much money other programs give you, and make sure you’d actually like to live for four years at University of Alabama before you actually sign anything. Happy students are successful students. Make sure you go to a place that’s a good fit for you.
