What are good engineering jobs in Chicago and are there any?

How good is the MS in Computer Science and Engineering program of the University of Illinois at Chicago, considering the quality of education, job & internship scene and part time jobs?

• My area of interest is Machine Learning, Embedded Systems and Artificial Intelligence. How are the profs for this domain and is there any research going in the same fields? How helpful is the location, downtown chicago, in getting jobs and internships? Where to find affordable Indian food on or around campus. Feel free to share your experience :)

• Answer:

  Uic ms cs is one of those courses where it is what you make of it. You can coast through by taking easy courses and graduate. But I know enough people who did some good research published multiple papers. Some of the professors are demanding and their classes tough. There is enough research going on in ml and ai if you really want to get into it. You might even get a paid ra if you prove yourself to the professors. Employment opportunities are promising. my cs batch did pretty well with over 1/3 ending up with big west coast companies including amazon, Microsoft, yahoo etc. The rest managed to get something else.(No google, fb though). It ain't no CMU. Its a good university as long as you have realistic expectations and you carve a good experience out of it.
