I know UTD has a respected computer science program and that for companies in the DFW/Houston and greater Texas areas finding internships/jobs from UTD is not too much of a challenge. I figure with the way EE and CS overlap the program might be advantageous.
If you want to try to work anywhere outside of the state, though, UT and (to a lesser extent) A&M are the degrees you want. Plus, as many others have stated, Austin is, simply put, a great city.
I recommend UT, even with possible financial difficulties. The experience you will have (and the degree) will certainly surpass UTD.
