<p>Could someone suggest some non-famous engineering schools that have great (by great, I mean, top-top ones) engineering programs?</p>
<p>Also, do those non-famous colleges offer any kind of scholarship/aid to international students?</p>
<p>As an Example, Olin College's class profile is close to MIT's (SAT, GPA, ranking, ECs...etc)
it also gives full scholarship to international students.</p>
<p>I know some people might mention schools like Calpoly but it's student quality seems relatively low (sorry, Cal poly students) compared to top schools (it's average SAT (old one) is like 1200)</p>
<p>thanks~!
I went to the website, although its "quality of admitted students" (SAT, GPA, ACT, ...etc) isn't that great compared to top schools, it's still a good choice :)
I'm hoping if there's some program comparable to MIT/Stanford/Caltech's</p>
<p>yep!
But I thought that was pretty wide-known :)
Well, they don't have an Electrical Engineering program...only general engineering ><
But I don't understand how they gained #3 in undergrad electrical engineering rankings in USnews without an EE program!</p>
<p>You might be asking for too much. Schools with high SAT ranges have them for a reason--a lot of smart kids apply. However, SATs are probably not the best measurements of 'student quality', especially if you're looking specifically for the college's quality.</p>
<p>olin is not only free for international students but to all students
also cooper union has a prety great ang program campred with mit and what not
i mean i know a id who got into mit cornell and columbia but rejeected from olin and cooper so cooper is pretty selective</p>
<p>Many LACs have great engineering programs. Lafayette, Lehigh, Swarthmore, Smith, Bucknell, Gonzaga, Union, Valparaiso, and Trinity come to mind.</p>
<p>For EE, have you looked at UIUC, Purdue, USC, UCLA, Michigan, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Maryland, CMU, RPI, etc.? </p>
<p>If you're looking for schools like Olin, I suggest Cooper Union, Rose-Hulman, and Stevens Institute of Technology.</p>
<p>I did some research on Cooper Union.
They require a permanent address in the US for international students which I don't have. How does that work out?</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon University
Cornell University
Northwestern University
Princeton University
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor</p>

For Cal Poly (in San Luis Obispo), the engineering program is significantly more selective than the other parts of the school. I don't know what the SATs are for the engineering program specifically. But in California, Cal Poly engineering BS degrees have more or less the same level of prestige as those from most University of California campuses, except Berkeley and UCLA.</p>

Any more "Olin Colleges" out there?
[/quote]
No, there aren't. Olin is unique. The only reason that it is "unknown" is because it's so new. It won't be "unknown" for long.</p>
<p>Did some further research.
Seems like Cooper and Olin share a lot of similar qualities!
Besdies the fact that Cooper is very annoying in the way that requires permanent address in the US for international students :(</p>
<p>I don't know if you consider RPI as "non-named" or not, but it is well known and respected and send the most students on to get PhDs in engineering and chemistry after Cornell and MIT.</p>
<p>"But I don't understand how they gained #3 in undergrad electrical engineering rankings in USnews without an EE program!"
Well, Mudd's emphasis is on problem solving, despite the major you pursue. They teach you the basis for all systems-type engineering (like RLC, etc) so when you decide to specialize it is realatively easy.</p>
<p>do u mean specialize it after grad program? I can see your point, but I doubt one can expand that to saying its EE or any other specific engineering can be ranked. </p>
<p>Anyway, thanks to this thread Cooper Union is now in my list:)
I'm backing up RPI and Rose-something institute. </p>
