I have a request from a friend in Singapore for information and opinions about graduate programmes in North America. He promises to summerize interesting information and mail it back to be for posting if desired. the ISS is the Institute for System Studies at the National University of Singapore. begin quote: ... Its just that the staff at ISS (myself included) is worried about about career development in the next few years e.g. can we ever get promoted if we don't have or get a PhD. Anyway, the management is trying to encourage further studies, but they don't really trust the published university rankings e.g. from ACM or IEEE. They are trying to get feedback, preferbly from Professors, but also from other people (like myself who applied to grad school) and my friends and contacts (like you, Sam, William, etc). So, do you have any opinion of the different graduate schools, most especially by area of specialty i.e. AI, Graphics, User Interface, etc. end quote So if you have any opionions, or information that might help mail to: isslmk@nusvm.bitnet (not directly to me please, and please don't post replies - I don't necissarily read this newsgroup, and the person who wants the information definitly does not) On behalf of M.K. Leong, Thanks. -- University of Toronto Career Centre Research Office Koffler Student Services Centre Gideon Sheps 214 College st.
