Engineering is expeditiously becoming one of the largest career options in the United States and overseas. The main reasons are job opportunities and compensation that comes along with it. International students who want to study engineering will find that there are many degree programs throughout the United States. Some of the common types of engineering offered include industrial, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and civil. As engineering grows in popula rity, more specific areas of specialisation are being offered including nuclear engineering, architectural engineering, and audio engineering etc. This is an exacting yet rewarding subject that incorporates mathematics, sciences, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, and problem solve.  Universities and colleges in USA offer both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees on Engineering. Bachelor’s degree engineering programs require SAT exam score and offer a four year long curriculum. First two year, undergrad students requir

‘STAPLE’ the acronym of the ‘Stopping Trained in America PhDs from Leaving the Economy’ was first introduced in 2009 by Jeff Flake, the U.S representative for Arizona’s 6 th Congressional District. This act will grant Green Card to students who have received doctorate degree from American Universities allowing them to stay in the United States and contribute to the strength of American economy. This bill has been re-introduced by House of Representatives that will exempt non-immigrants with American PhD in STEM from the limits on the number of employment-based Green Cards and H1B visas awarded annually. Re-introduction of this act may benefit the Indian scholars aspiring to pursue doctoral studies in USA. US still attract more than half of Indian students going abroad and are still perceived to provide the most prestigious and valuable credentials of all study abroad destinations. According to Congressman Mr. Erik Paulsen, US should provide all the opportunities to the skilled s

   Students who plan to study in US Universities for Masters' / PhD, need to take a standardized test - The Graduate Record Examination (GRE). The test is intended to measure the abilities of general academic nature, regardless of fields of specialization. The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based exam and administered by Education Testing Services. The cost of taking the test is US$205 as of May 2017. This Test comprises of six sections. The first section is always the analytical writing section involving separately timed issue and argument tasks. The next five sections include two verbal reasoning sections, two quantitative reasoning sections, and either an experimental or research section. These five sections may occur in any order. The experimental section does not count towards the final score but is not distinguished from the scored sections. The verbal section is scored on a scale of 130-170 and assesses reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and vocabulary

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is a term that refers to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The term is typically used when addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in science and technology development. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy. STEM designated-degree programs that qualify eligible graduates  on student visas for an optional practical training (OPT) extension. Under the OPT program, international students who graduate from colleges and universities in the United States are able to remain in the country and receive training through work experience for up to 12 months. Students who graduate from a designated STEM degree program can remain for an additional 24 months on an OPT STEM extension making it to a total of 36 months. Eligible degrees OPT are physics, actuarial science, chemistry, biol
