<p>Does anyone have the rankings for 2014, and if so, could you please post them? Thanks!</p>
<p>You cannot find it online?</p>
<p>Google is your friend.</p>

<p>Glad that I posted a link instead of a list. The ranking just got updated today.</p>
<p>That’s a helpful link. But there are soooo many other excellent schools for Engineering. </p>
<p>OP - Use ranking as only a minor factor. Any ABET accredited school that is a good fit (socially and financially) is a fine candidate for your application list. </p>
<p>The rankings don’t do a thing me for me. There are numerous ABET accredited schools with very good to excellent undergraduate engineering departments, so that’s an additional reason for me to ignore USNWR.</p>

</p>
<p>Agreed. You would be missing out on many, and potentially better fitting schools by putting the USNWR goggles on.</p>
<p>There’s something reassuring about an “authority” affirming your choice. The thing that most miss is that they don’t bother to align the ranking methodology to their own. My son for instance was interested in things that will never show up in a ranking. He wanted a ME program that was not a traditional two years of books only before you get to play with the toys and he wanted a school that offered a typical college experience (football games, social scene, etc.). Those criteria immediately struck many highly ranked schools off his list. The bottom line is, you need to figure out what’s important to you. If you want to read a great assessment of ranking systems, hunt down Malcolm Gladwell’s essay on college rankings. It could be the best thing you’ll ever read on the college search.</p>
