<p>I'm thinking about Northwestern, but I have some questions. Does Northwestern have a strong engineering program, with an excellent mechanical engineering major? Are there co-ops available? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Yes for both.</p>
<p>The graduate rankings:
US NEWS: 11th
NRC:
S (Survey-based) ranking: 2nd @ 5th percentile & 5th @ 95th percentile
R (Regression-based) ranking: 5th @ 5th percentile & 20th @ 95th percentile</p>
<p>Our co-ops program is among the most well-established and oldest in the country (since early 40s).</p>
