Major: Electrical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
The Electrical & Computer Engineering Program at UMass Amherst was a miserable experience for me at first. I guess I was immature, but the competition was fierce and the department offered little help and it was not what I was expecting. By being left to sink or swim, I learned how to solve-problems, get resources, and find help on my own. The program facilitated the development of these skills and it left me with iron determination and an incredible work ethic. Now I am very grateful because these are exactly the skills that are necessary to be a successful engineer. Do not expect and easy ride. I rated this program based upon the way that I think an engineering department should be.
