<p>Is peer assessment of NATIONAL (schools that offer doctoral degrees) has equivalent weight as peer assessment of MASTER (schools that offer bachelors and master).</p>
<p>Per US NEWS, PEER ASSESSMENT are based on judgements of deans and senior faculty who rated their peer school each program (such as Eng’g) they are familiar with on a scale from 1 to 5. Same criteria for both I assume except that they are in separate group - one group that offer doctoral degrees in engineering and the other group schools whose terminal degree in engineering is bachelors or master.</p>
<p>Is CALPOLY SAN LUIS OBISPO WITH 3.9 peer assessmt in Eng’g is as good as John Hopkins, Northwestern Univ, PennState (3.9 NATIONAL)?</p>
<p>or is CALPOLY ENG’G better than the NATIONAL school with peer assessment.</p>
<p>3.8 - Texas A&M, Virginia Tech,
3.7 - Rensselaer, UCLA, Univ of Minnesota, Univ of Washington
3.6 - USC, Duke Univ, Univ of Maryland</p>
<p>Which is more realistic in peer assessment</p>
<p>Master 3.9 = National 3.8
Master 3.9 = National 3.7
Master 3.9 = National 3.6</p>
