Dear Mohammad, for all of us it is very important to study engineering in a good institution. There are numerous respectable technical universities and institutes across the globe with the highest standards, but I would suggest you the german speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) or Holland, and I will explain why. First of all, there are two major factors making a university good: a) international ratings and references, b) tradition. Most of the students, candidate phDs, researcher keep an eye on int. ratings, ignoring the tradition. An institution can be state of the art, and can have the best professors, currying projects, research, publications and producing work. Of course this means that the specific university has money and funds. As a researcher and engineer, I dont want to accept, that money is the only thing that matters, and what determines knowledge and progress. On the other hand, there is tradition. What means tradition on electrical engineering? Tradition means that famous engineers, researchers, professors have tought in the specific university. Famous experiments or machines have been tested at the lab. For example, I think its very important to study at the same university where Ohm wrote his famous law. Tradition is not irrelevant to ratings. Many universities with a long tradition are respectable to the int. ratings too. But not necessary vice versa. Moreover, tradition comes from decades, even centuries a go. A modern university comes from yesterday. If we agree that a good university should combine tradition and int. ratings you could find one in Europe or in the US. I would not recommend the US, because of the huge expenses. Not only the cost of living (which in some states is affortable) but also the tremendous costs for the university are so high that exceeds sometimes 100.000 US$/year. In Europe long tradition have Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, UK, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway. In those countries you could find a respactable institution. So here comes the cost. Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway) have very high student costs for non European citizens and extra high cost of living. UK and France have very good universities but the cost of living (especially in the UK or in Paris-France) is too high. In the UK, also the student costs are very high. Of course lower than in the US, lets say 30000 pounds/year but still high. What is left? Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland. Switzerland has the famous ETH in Zurich. Although the student costs (university fees) are logic (I think 1300 euro/year) the cost of living in Zurich is not low. A better solution offer universities from Germany, Austria and Holland. You could find respectable institutions with a long tradition like the TU Wien, the TU Graz and TU Linz in Austria, the Eidhoven uni in Holland (where also the famous Philipps labs are situated). Germany has TU Munich, TU Berlin, RWTH in Aachen, TU Dresden and many others. I should mention that Munich can not be considered as low cost city. As an engineer you have to keep in mind the future opportunities and jobs arround your university and your studies. In general, Germany has famous industries and offers real jobs for engineers. Many people think that in Germany it is required to speak german in order to study in the Uni. That is not true. Now many faculties are tought also in english. Student fees in Germany are 500/year and the cost of living in cities like Berlin and Dresden is the lowest possible. Austria and Holland are smaller countries compare to Germany and that is a disadvantage, giving to Germany the first place. To sum up, I would recommend Germany. If you are interested in, I could offer you more advices or even courses (via skype online). You could write at the email: [email protected] or at [email protected].
Electrical engineering now covers a wide range of sub-fields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, RF engineering, and signal processing.
Here are Top Universities in Germany to Study Electrical Engineering*:
TU DARMSTADT
The Darmstadt University of Technology, whose official name is “Technische Universität Darmstadt”, (abbreviated TU Darmstadt) in Darmstadt, plays a significant role among German universities. It is one of Germany’s leading universities and well known internationally for its outstanding achievements in the areas of engineering, political science and computer science.As an institution it provides excellent research in selected fields to face the challenges of the new millennia guided first hand by experts in the field. In electrical engineering students often work on projects which give them the opportunity to use their theoretical knowledge in practical applications. In their last year the students are asked to work on their bachelors dissertation encouraged to be creative and genuine.
TU KAISSERSLAUTERN
As the only technical and engineering university in Rhineland-Palatinate, the TU has acquired a considerable reputation since its founding in 1970. With around 14,200 students in twelve subject areas the University of Kaiserslautern has a manageable size, the close contact with professors and excellent service guaranteed. Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering are offered as two separate graduate courses with varying technical orientation. The sound basic education in the four-semester undergraduate program is followed by the graduate program with technical specialization in one of the seven majors.
TU MUNICH
The TUM is one of the best universities in Europe regarding excellence in research and teaching, interdisciplinary methods and talent drawn from them. The strong collaboration amidst various companies and several other academic institutions around the world make for an optimal international environment. TUM is one of the first three Universities of Excellence in Germany. The bachelor’s degree program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology is divided into two study phases. In Part I, the first four semesters, students learn the fundamental principles of the following subject areas: Electrical Engineering (28 credits), Mathematics (32 credits), Physics (24 credits), Signals and Systems (20 credits), Information Technology (16 credits). In Part II, the second phase of study follows on from the fundamental principles. During semesters 5 and 6 students build on the knowledge gained in the first four semesters. They will be expected to accomplish the following: Engineering Practice (12 credits), Soft Skills (6 credits), Bachelor’s Thesis (12 credits), Individual Advanced Modules (30 credits)
RWTH AACHEN
The RWTH Aachen found in 1880, has a long lasting tradition of excellent education comprised of nine faculties among which, the Faculty of Engineering. The coverage of the RWTH Aachen engineering studies corresponds with the idea of expanding the electrical engineering potential. Students receive intensive basic studies – the mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering education cannot be beat within Germany. Students begin their studies focusing on focus on mathematics, computer science, and the elementary stage of electrical engineering. The Basics continue for three to four semesters. The curriculum is quite mathematically challenging to ease up their way towards the essentials of technical principles and structural concepts.
ULM UNIVERSITY
Since its foundation in 1967, the youngest university in Baden-Württemberg showed a remarkable performance. Currently around 9500 students spread over the faculties of medicine, engineering and computer science, mathematics, sciences, economics and natural sciences. Its motto states “Innovative technology is in need of modern software and hardware solutions, but it must also take into account the people who will deal with this technique. Conversely, it is an inspiration for innovative technical mechanisms and algorithms human thought and action patterns.
