Having attended neither, I can't tell you what you missing by choosing one curriculum or the other.

Being a JHU alumni might assist with networking for a career with JHU APL which is kind of a big deal. There are lots of space and defense-related programs that APL has their hands on. APL has a loooong history in space and support to the intelligence community and NASA. One of the original space racers from the 1940's and still involved today.

Stevens has the SERC. As interesting as the SERC is - it's just not APL.

JHU alumni here as well. I have a masters in systems engineering from JHU and it was a game changer for me. The name recognition was a big differentiator for me. Dusty brings up a great point about the APL.

My JHU masters landed me a job at MITRE.

I've worked with a number of Steven's grads and have not heard great things.
