<p>Yea i saw them put up a few hours ago. </p>

<p>Anyone has the full 39 graduate list for industrial engineering by chance? </p>

<p>Purdue was #3 last year (the last 4 years consecutively in fact) and not even in top 10 this year so i just was curious where they fall.</p>

<p>I don’t go to Purdue currently but its one of the schools i am applying to for Spring admissions so i am curious :)</p>

<p>The ONLY things that are useful to look at in the overall engineering ranking are the two assessment scores. Other than that, it’s unreliable. Sure the usual suspects like MIT, Berkely, Stanford, GaTech, and UIUC are still at the top-5; but after that, quite a few schools could be ranked much lower than they are now because they reported wrong numbers to USN. For example, some schools didn’t follow the counting rules and overstated their % NAE memberships as much as 3x (I did the research to verify that) more. Examples of schools that significantly overstated their NAE % are USC, UCLA, UCSB (wow, a Californian thing? ;)).</p>

<p>Other than the assessment scores, I’d forget about the overall ranking and refer to the department rankings instead.</p>

<p>Anyone has the full graduate list for biomedical, chemical and electrical engineering by chance?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think many would agree this methodology favors bigger universities, Total Research Expenditures (.15) and Doctoral Degrees Awarded (.0625) combine for over 21% of total weight which really pushed bigger state schools like Georgia tech(No.4) and UIUC(No.5)'s rank up,</p>

<p>and universities like Caltech(No.7), Cornell(No.11) Harvard(No.18) and Princeton(No.18) are ranked much lower than they deserve because of their smaller total research expenditure and less doctoral degree awards every year due to their smaller size.</p>

<p>I agree that bigger school have certain advantage as having wider range of research activities going on, etc. But I believe smaller school also have advantage of closer collaboration between department, more focused research activities, etc.</p>

<p>I think one obvious fix is just drop these 2 factors’ importance, give expenditure per faculty more weight than total expenditure. and i don’t know why anyone care about how many PHD are awarded per year at any institute, this really has nothing to do with universities’ quality.</p>

<p>anyways I agree with Sam Lee that the most useful data are the two assessments from peers and employers, and that would move Caltech to No.4 and almost every smaller school up.</p>

<p>hey, here is the 2010 us news ranking for BME, top 20:</p>

<p>in my experience as a student at UIUC, going to a big school allows more interdisciplinary studies. for example, at UIUC, an Electrical Eng. student can take some 13+ hours of non EE courses in their degree. UIC does not have this, they have about 6 hours or so. Plus many of the EE classes are cross listed with other departments, so one could easily have taken a lot of non EE classes. the same applies to other programs as well</p>

<p>do you have any of the other lists as well?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m not sure if I follow your logic. So what if, on average, a school has a higher academic quality than another? If that school that is better on average is very small, their overall impact is still quite small. This is ranking an institution’s mark on research, not an individual researcher’s.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree 100%. Further, it devalues the PhD.</p>

<p>does anyone has the 2010 civil engineering rakings?</p>
