Opinions on the MSFE Program at UIUC

Most of my questions around the program is actually on the career and internship opportunities that are available post graduation. Going by the information I found online, UIUC seems to have a very strong network of companies that they partner with for field trips, industry practicums, and seminars. They advertise that we get to use the resources of 2 schools in our job hunt, which seems very lucrative to me.

Moreover, I really like the curriculum and the idea of having an industry practicum to get you prepared for the industry. UIUC as a university is also quite reputed, and as a place I really like the campus town.

But the latest statistics in the program page says that the employment rate at the time of graduation is 54% which seemed a little low to me. Do students generally struggle to find full-time opportunities once the program is done? Could some current students shed some light into how they're experience has been so far and how its been going for them.
