<p>err that might or might not be undergrad, i'll leave it up anyway</p>

4

<p>hmmm...I saw a seperate ranking system that was different, but for grad school.</p>

5

<p>Phpguru, you posted the 2006 graduate rankings.</p>

<p>There is very little difference between undergraduate and graduate. Here are the top Electrical Engineering programs at the undergraduate level:</p>

<h1>1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology</h1>

<h1>2 Stanford University</h1>

<h1>3 University of California-Berkeley</h1>

<h1>4 University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign</h1>

<h1>5 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor</h1>

<h1>6 Georgia Institute of Technology</h1>

<h1>7 California Institute of Technology</h1>

<h1>8 Cornell University</h1>

<h1>9 Purdue University-West Lafayette</h1>

<h1>10 Carnegie Mellon University</h1>

<h1>11 University of Texas-Austin</h1>

<h1>12 Princeton University</h1>

<h1>13 University of California-Los Angeles</h1>

<h1>14 University of Wisconsin-Madison</h1>

<h1>15 Rice University</h1>

<h1>16 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute</h1>

<h1>16 University of Southern California</h1>

<h1>18 Northwestern University</h1>

<p>The difference, of course, is that it doesn't include institutions that don't have graduate programs like HarveyMudd or Rose-Hulman. I would argue that either of these schools is far better than some of the other schools presented above when it comes to undergrad EE.</p>

8

<p>^ Agreed. I'm just starting my four years as an EE at Rose, but I'd definitely say that the undergrad experience here is quite comparable to many of the abovementioned schools. Olin also comes to mind as another good undergrad school, but it's so new that I've not heard anything about how its graduates fare in industry.</p>

<p>I agree with you Sakky. Rose Hulman and Harvey Mudd are excellent (comparable to the top 10 programs above). I was merely listing the top undergraduate EE programs offering PhDs.</p>

<p>That's because we don't have any graduates yet.</p>
