<p>Rose is number one again for engineering programs whose highest degree offered is a master's. Also our chemical, mechanical, civil, electrical, and computer engineering departments were tops once again (they don't publish individual rankings for the other departments).</p>
<p>What does this mean? Free ice cream Monday! Woot!</p>
<p>Have a nice day everyone.</p>
<p>Darn it, Nic, beat me to it! All of us EEs are quite happy with the department rankings. </p>
<p>We should, however, take all rankings with a grain of salt. This list is really about reputation, so the actual programs aren't analyzed in great detail. It's a great indicator of how well we're doing in general, but it doesn't indicate an absolute.</p>
<p>I'm sure everyone's excited, though! Enjoy ice cream on the patio, Nic.</p>
<p>7 more days and I'll be there.....guess I'll miss the ice cream. Great to know about the rankings.</p>
<p>How come that's the only place R-H is in the rankings? Does it not fit any other category?</p>
<p>Congrats to all the Rose students. I'm glad to be joining this coming year. See you in a week!</p>
<p>fireflyscout- no it doesn't fit anywhere else. Rose doesn't offer graduate degrees beyond master's and nothing except engineering and science. USNEWS doesn't do rankings for any of Rose's other programs.</p>
