<p>What are some good schools (academically) for Chemical Engineering ?</p>
<p>If so can you rank them on a scale of 1 (Worst) to 10 (Best)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>here is a basic overview from us news and world report's 2007 rankings</p>
<ol>
<li> Massachusetts Inst. of Technology</li>
<li> University of California–Berkeley </li>
<li> Univ. of Minnesota–Twin Cities *</li>
<li> Univ. of Wisconsin–Madison *</li>
<li> Stanford University (CA)</li>
<li> California Institute of Technology
U. of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign *</li>
<li> University of Texas–Austin *</li>
<li> Princeton University (NJ)</li>
<li> Georgia Institute of Technology *</li>
<li> University of Delaware *</li>
<li> University of Michigan–Ann Arbor *</li>
<li> Purdue Univ.–West Lafayette (IN)</li>
<li> Cornell University (NY)</li>
<li> Carnegie Mellon University (PA)</li>
<li> Univ. of California–Santa Barbara *</li>
<li> University of Washington *
Northwestern University (IL)</li>
<li> University of Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania State U.–University Park *</li>
<li> Rice University (TX)

<p>Thanks, this should suffice.</p>
<p>Are these the rankings for Engineering in General ?</p>
<p>No Chem E..............................</p>
<p>Ok Thanks. I didn't know US News actually broke rankings up by major.</p>

<p>Hmm.. surprisingly, it seems the gourman ranking is more realistic than USNEWS. I'd rank them as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Minnesota ( especially absolute best in mass/heat transfer in turbulent boundary layers, and the legendary "Prandtl" code)</p></li>
<li><p>Berkeley-MIT-Caltech</p></li>
<li><p>Madison-Stanford-Delaware</p></li>
<li><p>Other schools</p></li>
</ol>
<p>RPI is third among private schools in sending its students on to getting a PhD in chemical engineering behind only Cornell and MIT.</p>
<p>Yes, but the alternative is to go somewhere with an actual social scene and women without glasses.</p>
<p>Kind of late but I had a question, Are these Graduate or Undergraduate ?</p>
<p>It's all the same. Same faculty etc.</p>
<p>OK, Thanks barrons.</p>
