Bill’s Answer
Another aspect of choosing the right engineering college for you is the ability for you to get real-world experience in the particular field of hardware engineering you are interested in. Many schools provide excellent intern and/or COOP programs that will give you this experience prior to graduation. Northeastern University in Boston offers an excellent COOP program as an example. This will allow you to determine which aspect of hardware engineering you are interested in. For instance, if you were to get a BSEE (Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering) you could specialize in computer design or power systems design just to name a few. In addition, you might also consider a career in low level firmware or BIOS development with the same BSEE. A BSEE will give you the skills you need to follow a career path in many directions based on your interests.
