<p>What are the prestigious engineering places in the North east?</p>

<p>Well, what comes to mind first is...</p>

<p><a href="http://web.mit.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>MIT is the most obvious one.</p>

<p>Other Notable Engineering Schools (In no particular order)
RPI
Cornell
Boston University (for bioengineering at least)
Princeton
Rochester Tech
Worcester Tech
Penn State (if you consider PA to be in the northeast)
Drexel (for co-op program)
University of Pennsylvania
Columbia University</p>

<p>Pretty sure I'm forgetting a few.</p>

4

<p>The Cooper Union
Olin</p>

5

<p>SUNY Binghamton is pretty decent, I hear recruiters from top companies also go there (more for the EE & Comp Eng programs). It's insanely cheap for in-state tuition.</p>

6

<p>how would you guys rank those programs on the level at which undergraduates participate in Research?</p>

7

<p>MIT, Cornell, and MIT</p>

8

<p>BU seems to only have BioMedical, which is different ive read.</p>

9

<p>Harvard SEAS</p>

</p>

<p>I can't rank because I only know the numbers for one school, but something like 80% of undergrads at MIT participate in research, and 20% publish during their undergrad careers. Undergrads also have their own research journal.</p>

<p>I'd also suggest Northeastern. It's academically solid, and has probably the best co-op program in the country.</p>

<p>Edit: Also, if you think BU only has biomedical engineering, you're wrong. From their website: "The College of Engineering offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Aerospace, Biomedical, Computer Systems, Electrical, Manufacturing, and Mechanical Engineering."</p>

<p>U of Maryland rank #1 public engineering in the northeast. If you want a great education for cheaper, that's one of them. (not sure if it counts as northeast tho)</p>

<p>Columbia Engineering school is really good (I heard they have the 2nd most selective engineering school in the US after MIT), Harvard, Cornell, Penn and MIT have top engineering schools as well</p>
