The USA has been the charismatic epicenter for the undergraduate, postgraduate, doctorate and post doctorate studies for students from all over the world with elite universities and diverse course outline. The quality of education in the USA is nearly impeccable. Another big reason for the success of students studying is “Accreditation” the procedure used in U.S. education to sustain that schools, postsecondary institutions, and other education providers meet, and retain, least possible standards of quality and morality considering related services, academics, and administration. It is an unpaid process constructed on the principle of academic self-legislation. Computer science and engineering is the substantial field which is offered by many institutions with the same standard of decorum.
USA: Land of Innovation

Throughout America, these are some institutions which are renowned specifically for the discipline of engineering and computer science.

1.    Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

MIT is one of the renowned university for the discipline of engineering. It boasts No.1 distinction in programs for chemical, aerospace, computer and electrical engineering. MIT grads are hired by more than 250 companies; Top employees for MIT grad include Google, Amazon, and Golden Sachs.

2.    California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California.

At CIT, undergraduates take practical thoughts on learning to spread human knowledge and benefit community. It has seven disciplines to study from aerospace to medical engineering. The department of engineering is immensely diverse with students from all over the world.

3.  University, Stanford, California.

Stanford university students can take advantage of opportunities to study and work for all over the world by University’s global engineering programs. The undergraduate programs at Stanford include the computer, mechanical and electrical engineering.

4. Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Graduates from Carnegie University can anticipate competitive compensation. In 2013, the salary for graduates from Carnegie ranges from $60000 for civil and environmental engineering to $90000 for electric and computer engineering. The University has partnerships with companies like IBM, Google and General motor which help the student to gain experience during their studies.

5.  Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia.

The industrial engineering program of Georgia Tech earned US top ranking in its field while Tech’s civil and aerospace engineering took no.2 and no.3 in their respective disciplines.

6.   The University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, California.

The University of Berkeley is top-ranked in the country for environmental engineering, second for chemical engineering and third for civil and industrial engineering. In 2014 the University graduates earned a starting salary of average $82000.

7. Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey.

This university has engineering course of studies with majors focusing on teaching students how to resolve realistic problems regarding energy, environment, health, and security. The average salary of graduates from Princeton University in 2014 was on average $68,900 annually.

BECOME A GAME DEVELOPER LEARNING FROM MOOCS

DO you want to be a game developer? Do you want to develop games from scratch? Do you want to learn game programming? Do you want to learn game design? Do you want to learn game graphic designing? Than read on....

1: Intro to Game Development | Michigan State University | Coursera

This is a must to take course before you dive into any others and waste your important time. This mooc is for obsolete beginners. This mooc use the famous UNITY gaming engine to develop 2 3d games using c# as a programming language. You are not suppose to have any background in programming but knowledge in programming is helpful. During this four week course you'll learn very much about using unity engine and its different features. Learner will enjoy creating two games and will get acquainted to the world of game development.

2: Game Development for Modern Platforms | Michigan State University | Coursera

I advice you to take this mooc after taking the introductory course from the same University. This mooc takes you into further details and depth. It discloses more about the unity engine and focus on game programing in c# too. The goal for this mooc is to build a 2D platformer game. You'll learn very much from this mooc and one will be able to start creating their own moocs. BUT wait, there is some more before you dive into the gaming business.

3: Introduction to Game Design | MIT | edX

Game design is the core part of creating a complete game. You'll learn about what is it that makes the game fun and interesting? What is the addiction part of the game? How to test the game by user perception? How to do documentation for the game and what are the basics tools of game designing? The goals will be achieved by a simple tool known as "GameBlox".

4: Business of Games and Entrepreneurship | Michigan State University | Coursera

What practices will you follow once you have made the game. There are an enormous amounts of games available, what tactics will you need to stand out of the crowd. How to perform better with your game. This mooc is all about it.


By now you'll be able to become a game developer. Try making one of your own game and publish it on the online market. After that you may apply for a job.

For people interested in diving in the world of game graphics:


-- Game Design: Art and Concepts | CALARTS | COURSERA

This is a whole specialization. You can skip the first course as you know about it by taking the mooc from MIT.


If you have any difficulties after completing the following certifications; unity3d.com/learn is the best resource to head to. 
answers.unity3d.com is a great site to get answers from too.


Besides that there is a a nano degree program by udacity in 2D game development using libgdx.

I hope that now you'll be able to become a game developer.



GOOGLE ANDROID SCHOLARSHIP FOR INDIANS ON UDACITY

## THIS POST IS NO MORE VALID. ##

Good news for Indians: Udacity in support with google and TATA is providing financial aid to students from India. They can take the nano-degree for free which also guarantees a job after its completion.


Udacity is eager to conduct its Nanodegree system to Indians with the backing of top Indian and worldwide managers. 

Google and Tata Trusts have cooperated to instruct understudies in Android development to take care of the developing demand for Android engineers. Together they are putting forth 1,000 grants to understudies in India to take the Android Developer Nanodegree program for nothing. 

Indians taking part in the Nanodegree system will profit by master honing and assemble their very own arrangement ventures to showcase their aptitudes with potential companies. Students who successfully complete the program will get the certificate in android development  and employment opportunities. There will be a Career Summit facilitated by Google, Tata Trusts, and other top bosses for top alumni of the project in the Spring. 

To apply for grants to take the nano-degree for nothing, candidates are requested that take an online appraisal to check whether they have the skills to undertake the nanodegree program. All  candidates who finish the evaluation effectively will get grant application data straight forwardly.
