<p>I've been scouring the Internet forever, but can't seem to find a list that ranks every engineering program in the United States. Not even an outdated list.</p>
<p>It scares me because I just want to know where my university falls compared to every one else but nothing shows up. We must be unheard of or so bad, that no list is long enough to accommodate us. </p>
<p>Does someone have a link to a complete rankings list?</p>
<p>A 30 second Google search provided this:
[Best</a> Undergraduate Engineering Schools | Top Undergraduate Engineering Programs | US News Best Colleges](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering)
You will need a USNWR subscription to see the whole list.</p>
<p>payscale is your best choice.</p>

<p>Payscale reports self-reported salaries, not school rankings. Even at that, the data they base their education reports on, if I am not mistaken, is still self-reported, so is naturally quite skewed.</p>
<p>

<p>Payscale is a terrible source for rankings information. Not only is it self-reported data, but the data isn’t sorted in any chronological order in terms of time at job, or years of experience. As a result, you may get average pay levels of graduates plotted for a number of different schools, but you have no way of determining if the people who posted their pay to the site are entry-level engineers or have been working for 20 years. The pay will vary significantly in either case.</p>
<p>There are NO reliable rankings for all the engineering schools (even by groups of 10 or 20). Period. There are many opinions: the USNews rankings of Eng departments are essentially compilations of “informed opinions”, so perhaps useful, but not completely reliable either.</p>
<p>You can use the NACE Salary Calculator ([NACE</a> - NACE Salary Calculator](<a href=“http://www.naceweb.org/salary_calculator/]NACE”>NACE - Page not found)) to get a sense of implied ratings, but there are problems with this approach (for one thing, it doesn’t adjust for who you are). There’s other useful information on NACE.</p>
