Currently working as a Hardware Engineer (BS in EE). I would like to transition from Hardware to Embedded Software ( Or Software). I have been accepted to two MS program starting Spring 2019.
1. Georgia Tech - Online MS in ECE
Pro - Top 10 Engineering School
Con - Very limited offerings in Embedded courses (online) -https://www.ece.gatech.edu/sites/default/files/documents/grad/course_schedule.pdf

2. UC Boulder - Online Masters in Embedded Systems & IOT
Pro - Very well defined (course offerings) online program - https://www.colorado.edu/ecee/graduate-program/degrees-programs/embedded-systems/embedded-systems-iot-courses
Con - Relatively new program (since 2015) and not sure about the degree value

The cost is relatively similar for both programs (25-30K).

Why not OMSCS in GT? - Not confident enough to Jump from EE to SE and also think I do not have enough programming knowledge to survive the OMSCS program. I think an Embedded degree will provide a reasonable transition.

Why Switch from HW to SW? - Better career opportunity and better TC.

any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

TC - 98K (Texas) - Yoe - 5
