Hi people,

I'm a newbie here. I've done undergraduate in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I've 3 years work experience as Application Engineer with Industrial Automation Solution provider.

I've taken up GRE and put up a score of 311 (161 on quants, 150 on verbal and 4 on AWA).
I've not done any IEEE publications yet.

For my Masters, I've shortlisted the following universities. Which of these have good research in Industrial Automation for me to specialize in?

1. Carnegie Mellon University - Robotics Institute - MRSD or MS in Robotics
2. University of Pennsylvania
3. University of Southern California
4. Georgia Institute of Technology
5. Arizona State University
6. University of Florida
7. Texas A&M University, College Station

You should really look up the departments at each university of interest, read what the professors are researching, and then inquire with those profs doing work you're interested in as to whether they are looking for students to do master's-level research in the near future.  It matters far more that you work on a project of interest, with real meaning; the school matters less, particularly from the list you supply.
