<p>I know that Cornell has a great engineering program, but how does it compare to other engineering programs in the Ivy League and around the country?</p>
<p>cornell & princeton are argueably(sp?) the best ivies for engineering...and i would personally rank cornell above princeton for engineering. </p>
<p>but in terms of comparing up against other schools in the country, this is the top 33 rankings of schools through dr/post-dr in engineering (provided by US News & World)</p>
