<p>Hey all,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on the best 5-10 engineering school in the nation are. I know some of it is opinion but I just wanted to see what you guys think because I think I want to go into engineering and I want to check out some of the top school. Thanks in advance for your input.</p>

2

<p>I think there's a certain school in Cambridge, Mass, that ain't too shabby.</p>

3

<p>by the name of</p>

<p>Mass. Inst. of Tech.</p>

4

<p>overall</p>

<p>the best</p>

<p>mit, stanford, cal-berkeley, cmu, cal tech, uiuc....etc</p>

<p>oh, and bob jones university</p>

5

<p>Let's not forget about Georgia Tech, Michigan, Cornell, Purdue, Wisconsin, Princeton, etc.</p>

<p>If you're just talking strictly undergrad, you should also consider Harvey-Mudd, Cooper Union, Swarthmore, and some others</p>

6

<p>also for undergrad: rose hullman</p>

7

<p>It varies by Engineering discipline, but the top 4 are generally MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and Caltech. Other top schools include UIUC, Michigan, Purdue, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, and Princeton.</p>

8

<p>ucsd is the best school</p>

9

<p>I would rate Rose-Hulman the best for undergraduate education.</p>

10

<p>for undergrad check out harvey mudd college</p>

11

<p>One school that is often overlooked is Olin College of Engineering (Needham, MA). Although at 75 students/class it is not nearly as large as the neighbors at MIT, it has an unparalleled curriculum and environment. </p>

<p>RPI is great also.</p>

13

<p>what is RPI?</p>

14

<p>Ratings Percentage Index, a common formula used to ascertain a sport's teams standings. Rochester Polytechnic Institute is a school in NY, solid academics I suppose.</p>

15

<p>Here are the US News top 15 undergrad Engineering programs:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
2. Stanford University
3. University of California – Berkeley
4. California Institute of Technology
University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign
6. Georgia Institute of Technology
7. University of Michigan – Ann Arbor
8. Carnegie Mellon University
Purdue University – West Lafayette
10. Cornell University
University of Texas – Austin
12. Princeton University
13. Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern University
University of Wisconsin – Madison</p>

16

<p>Why do many people keep skipping Northwestern? :( It has more top-10 departments (Civil, Mat Sci, Mech, Industrial) than even Princeton. People keep thinking its only good for journalism/theater/music/film. <em>sigh</em></p>

17

<p>the R in RPI does not stand for Rochester.</p>

18

<p>RPI is number 16 for engineering (so extend that top 15 list by one more, im_blue). RPI is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, an engineering school in upstate NY. Why do you guys not know RPI at all? 16 is pretty good. It's a very similar school to Rose-Hulman. Avg SAT is 1320, and it's in the top 50 overall as a school.</p>

19

<p>and virginia tech is very good for engineering as well.</p>

20

<p>wpi is good too</p>
