求问DUKE EE的MS和MENG的区别

求助牛人或在duke的学长学姐介绍下他家MS和MENG的区别以及各自的优势

I am not a duke student but I can offer some info.
M.Eng is not something only duke offers. M.Eng is widely offered at various graduate schools such as MIT or UCB or Stanford. It is true M.Eng is new. I heard that UCB's M.Eng is only 2-3 years old.  But that does not mean M.Eng is significantly inferior to M.S.

Some people say M.S. equals to M.Eng. The only difference M.Eng. is more closely connected to industry, which means the career service would be much better. You have larger chances to get a job.
Some say M.S. is slightly better than M.Eng. The rest say M.Eng is better than M.S. if the concern is job hunting.

My view is that companies do not care so much about the difference. They view M.eng equally as M.S. at the first stage of hiring a person, resume screening. If one would be hired  is determined by the performance during the following tests/interviews.


There are still some tops schools which refues to open the new born degree of M.eng, such as georgia tech. Instead, these schools just say the m.s. can also be a non-thesis track depends on one's choice. This policy makes a M.S. more like a M.eng, but without better career service and unique M.Eng courses I mentioned above.

the bottom line is M.S. if more academic and easier for one to go for a Ph.D. M.Eng is more closely connrected to industry. It has better career service for job hunting. The courses required for the two degrees are also slightly different. M.Eng has some sort of team work, project course while M.S. does not. If you want a Ph.d eventually, go for M.s., otherwise the difference is slim.

顶一个，同求问

LS正解~MS和MENG讲的好清楚~
DUKE的MS和MENG区别也并不是很大。都是十门课的要求，MENG要求有两门经济管理的课程，其他八门和MS选择范围一样
MS有三类，thesis，project和course，貌似大部分是修够course就毕业，论文没要求。MENG没有论文要求，但有个要求是需要完成一项实习。
MS申PHD容易些，MENG好像不是很好转。。因为没有考虑过读phd。。所以这个了解不是很清楚，只是听说的~
据以往的学长说，ms一般大家两年毕业，一年半毕业的并不是很多。meng貌似一年半毕业的人比较多。
career service挺负责，orientation完了就开始写简历改简历，定期有些workshop，每周也都在收到各种recruiting的邮件
以上~

我自己就一直理解是MENG更偏重工作和实践，而MS更倾向于研究吧。。。原来还有这么大学问~~~
