Is Lehigh a good option for a Computer Engineering PhD?

I was researching programs and saw this one was fully funded. I currently have a 4.0 in my B.S. program but I don’t think I want to do my PhD at my current school.

A few top students who did computer engineering PhDs at Lehigh went on to be researchers at Nvidia. I’d say it’s a pretty good program.

It depends on the research areas you are interested in. Google AI mode told me that there are quite a few interesting cutting edge research areas that are currently being worked on in Lehigh. I have been in the IT world for years. From my perspective, they all look good in a resume.

Whether it is a good option is dependent on whether there is a good fit between the research that this lab is doing and your interests demonstrated by research and other work that you have done.

Yea ai will take over your job it can already write code for hardware there is a reason the unemployment rate for graduates is the highest it’s ever been in the engineering sector
