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.
