Aerospace Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida made significant moves in the latest U.S. News & World Report (USNWR) rankings among public graduate engineering programs, joining four others that climbed in the list of top schools for graduate engineering study.
Six of the UF engineering college’s disciplines — agricultural engineering, biomedical engineering, computer engineering, industrial engineering, materials engineering and nuclear engineering — are listed among the Top 15 public programs. Overall, the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, which saw its research expenditure grow by more than 10%, ranked #26 among all public institutions.
If you’re interested in the Methodology used by US News, see the link below. Research activity sums to 50% (previously 25%) of each school’s rank. Which helps explain UF’s rise and why it will be easier to rise up in the rankings in the future- increase research funding.
