Top Engineering Schools

<p>Which schools do you feel are in the top level category as far as quality in their Engineering Programs. Feel free to add on....</p>

<p>Tuskegee University (One of the top Engineering schools in the country, 31st out of 328 Engineering Schools. Also, One of the largest college of Black Engineers.)</p>

<p>Georgia Institute of Technology also is a good school, ranked 9th among all public Universities.</p>

<p>Also, Massachusetts Inst. of Technology</p>

<p>Feel free to add on.</p>

<p>Also, keep in mind that Ivy League schools doesn't mean a better engineering program, or better anything in that matter. It just all depends on what you are looking for in a collge.</p>

<p>uh.... top engineering could mean anything esp since different colleges have different strenghts. I mean you can just google that question but I reccomend you visit some colleges first.</p>

<p>uh...i didn't google anything....and you think i haven't visited colleges because? i also receive info and research....and those were my opinions on it....if you dont have anything to add as of what colleges u think r good dont post anything. I didn't say you had to agree with me. And yes, top engineering program COULD mean anything, which is why I asked you to post your opinion, doesnt mean it is gonna be correct.</p>

<p>wow ok omg lolz! is that what you wanted? ok !!! heres top engineering colleges!!! mit, stanford, caltech, cmu, berkely!! wow ok!! hope u learned lotz!!</p>

<p>COOPER UNION
HARVEY_MUDD
ROSE HULMAN
are all for 1337 hackors</p>

<p>Yah, those are good schools as well.</p>

<p>How does Pittsburgh rank? I wish to attend that institution if I get rejected from Cornell or The Cooper Union (which owns the Chrysler building!)</p>

<p>don't forget Carnegie mellon, Stanford, UC-Berkely, Caltech, USC, Cornell, RPI, and Olin...and all the other goodies</p>

<p>Virginia Tech, University of Maryland, Penn State, and NC State are all good big state universities in the mid-atlantic.</p>

<p>almost all the UCs have good engineering schools</p>

<p>"How does Pittsburgh rank?"</p>

<p>Penn State ranks a lot higher, and costs about the same. What engineering discipline are you considering?</p>

<p>Chemical..I guess its too late to go to Penn State.</p>

<p>I don't know if it's too late to go to Penn State or not. You certainly would be "late to the game", but I'm not sure if you're too late or not.</p>

<p>Penn State's Engineering Program is probably best known for Nuclear and Industrial Engineering, but it's Chemical program (as well as several others) is quite competitive as well.</p>

<p>As you can see, the undergraduate (and also graduate) ChemE program is currently ranked 19th.</p>

<p>From my own personal experiences with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State, I had more interview offers and job offers than I had hoped, and several of my offers (including the one I accepted) was for considerably more than the national average starting salary for MEs.</p>

<p>If you're from the state of Pennsylvania (as I am), it's tough to beat the in-state tuition at Penn State. Of course, if your parents are loaded and have the kind of checkbooks to pay for a degree at Carnegie Mellon or Cornell without you having to take on much debt, then these are obviously exceptional schools as well.</p>

<p>I wasn't in that situation. I choose Penn State because it was competitively ranked while also being considerably cheaper than the other schools I mentioned, and I don't regret it one bit. I have practically no debt, and a very lucrative career, both because of my decision.</p>

<p>The US news and World Report ranked engineering colleges based on many criteria and i find it very useful. This link has the ranks of engineering schools in particular for both schools whose highest degree is master and whos highest degree is a doctorate. <a href="http://www.sandiego.edu/business/upload/ENGR/CBENG.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.sandiego.edu/business/upload/ENGR/CBENG.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
