<p>Can someone please post the top schools for engineering? Thanks.</p>

2

<p>MIT, caltech, cornell, georgia tech, berkeley, urbana-champaign etc</p>

3

<p>Harvey Mudd, Olin, Cooper Union, Carnegie Mellon, Rose-Hulman, etc...</p>

4

<p>UIUC (illinois- urbana champaign), Purdue, MIT, Carnegie Mellon</p>

5

<p>those are the best for engineering.</p>

6

<p>what about johns hopkins?</p>

7

<p>they are not that good.</p>

8

<p>Except for biomedical engineering. Do you have any specific types of engineering in mind? The strength of departments can really vary, even with top-notch schools.</p>

9

<p>civil and electrical engineering</p>

10

<p>What happened to finance? Don't you think it's a bit late to be flipping between specialty schools?</p>

11

<p>no....let me explain....i want to start/own a tech. bus., so i need both engineering + bus. skills.</p>

12

<p>Then, I'f say you want to mior in business, but let me cite that it's very hard to collaborate most any major with an engineering major, possible, but hard as %#@. </p>

<p>I faced that when touring school hoping to double major in mechanical engineering and political science, lol. I think Tufts was the only school that didn't say "shut your face!"</p>

13

<p>Olin would be very good, very good indeed. They have partnerships with Babson, and give the students much experience with engineering business.</p>

<p>Also, Harvey Mudd and Claremont McKenna have a dual 5-year Engineering-Economics program. which will award you a double major in Econ from McKenna and Engineering from Mudd. Both schools are very renowned and highly ranked in the respective fields.</p>

<p>So yes, either Olin or Mudd is what I would recommend.</p>

14

<p>I would suggest, for your career, majoring in engineering school and then maybe getting an MBA later.</p>

15

<p>I would add Stanford, Michigan-Ann Arbor, Princeton, UT-Austin, Northwestern and Rice to the list of top Engineering schools.</p>

3. Georgia Tech
4. UT-Austin
5. MIT
6. Stanford
7. Purdue
8. Michigan
9. Cornell

7. Cal Tech
8. Cornell
9. Purdue
10. CMU</p>

<p>Thanks alot to all of u</p>

18

<p>But Olin doesn't have civil E, if that's what you want.</p>
