Engineering in Germany compared to US?

<p>Everyone knows that Germany is one of the world's leaders in engineering. But does anyone know how the top technical schools in Germany (TU Berlin, Munich, Darmstadt, etc.) compare to the elites of the US (MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, etc.)?</p>

<p>I am doing a research internship at TU Darmstadt right now and really enjoying the atmosphere. Thus, I am considering graduate studies in Germany rather than the US. However, I am curious as to how the top engineering programs in Germany and the US rank with one another (say if an employer or faculty member looked at a CV/Resume).</p>

<p>Thanks for your insight.</p>
