How good/competitive is the engineering program at UPenn?

<p>Topic pretty much says it. Specifically, chemical engineering. I want to go to UPenn, but if the engineering program isn't worth it, I'll reconsider.</p>

<p>18th best according to that list: [US</a> Top Chemical Engineering Ranking | World Ranking Guide](<a href=“http://worldranking.blogspot.com/2009/04/us-top-chemical-engineering-ranking.html]US”>US Top Chemical Engineering Ranking | World Ranking Guide) </p>

<p>According to Wiki, “In the School of Engineering, top departments are bioengineering (typically ranked in the top 5 by U.S. News), mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and nanotechnology. The school is also strong in some areas of computer science and artificial intelligence.”</p>
