<p>Purdue has a high engineering rank, then why does its overall rank obscure?</p>
<p>because it is most known for engineering and business. a lot of the other majors are average.</p>
<p>I would appreciate if some one can post the 2009 rankings for Graduate Engineering Specialties. Thanks.</p>

<p>Thank you Father of the Boarder.</p>
<p>this one is @ Flibb:</p>
<p>I have wondered that too, for a long time.</p>
<p>Then I went there on some business, and I could instantly tell. It's just in the air... I hate to say it, but the place is magic.</p>
<p>You should check it out. Go there, especially if you've got some years left in your undergrad, because seeing it will inspire you.</p>
<p>@ Engineering Specialty Rankings: Nuclear
Surprising variation from the US news rankings.... I have no idea whom I can rely on now :P
<em>confused</em>
And are there any Univs that focus on fusion technologies on undergrad level?
(class 11 student from India planning to go into hardcore fusion technolologies research in the US)
Thank you in advance for your help!</p>
<p>Does anyone have the full list (not just the top 5) of best undergrad programs in the Engineering Science/Engineering Physics specialty? It was on the 2008 list but not on the 2009 list. Thanks.</p>
<p>Is there a listing for the best robotics program school for undergrads?
I’m trying to pick between:
-Cornell
-Michigan Ann Arbor
-Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>anyone know if UCI is considered a good school for aerospace / mechanical engineering in the industry? despite the low ranking XD and how much do employers emphasize which school you went to?</p>
<p>what is u of maryland (college park)'s rank in bioengineering?</p>
<p>Has anyone seen a ranking that combines/compares the engineering programs at PhD and non-PhD schools? We’re considering UIUC and Bucknell.</p>
<p>kits, are these grad rankings you posted? I see different for undergrad rankings. For example, USC is lower than ucsd or ucla. (following list is accurate as of 4/26 based on my read of us news).</p>
