So you want to go to grad school ? Good decision!
Firstly, Computer Engineering is a wide discipline, you have to find out what you want to specialize in. Except for the few best Universities, different Universities are good for different disciplines. So knowing your discipline is helpful.
Once you know the discipline you want to go to, search for departments that specialize in that discipline. The more the Professors working in your area, the better for you.
My suggestion: try to find a University where you will be able get research assistantship or teaching assistantship. This does not only help you save your hard earned money but also helps you learn a lot.
You of course need to get a good GRE score!
Good luck!
