    Does anyone have experience with the DL engineering programs from these schools? I've been thinking about possibly getting a master's in Computer Engineering after I finish my MS in CS, and I think that I've narrowed it down to Ga. Tech, USC, and RPI (any other suggestions of top engineering schools with DL programs in CE would be appreciated). Ga. Tech has the lowest per credit rate, but RPI and USC will both let me use some credits from my MS in CS toward a new master's in computer engineering, so that balances the cost somewhat (and reduces the number of required courses). Mostly I'm interested in hearing any positive or negative experiences that people may have had with the DL programs at these schools (including programs other than engineering).

    Come on, someone has to have taken a course from one of these schools! Even secondhand or speculative information would be appreciated. :)

    I definitely will, John. It looks like I"m also on track to be the first graduate of Capitol College's online MSCS program (I only need 2 more courses plus my capstone project!), so I'll make sure to post a retrospective report on that program as well. Hopefully I'll finish up in May. So far it seems like a good option for many people, though depending upon a person's background and financial support another program (such as those from University of Illinois, USC, RPI, or University of Hawaii) may be more suitable. I think that it was probably the right choice for me, though, given my situation.
