<p>Which is better for engineering. I am considering BioMedical Engineering.</p>
<p>Is UW Washington or Wisconsin?</p>
<p>Washington>Michigan>Wisconsin.</p>
<p>Sorry, UW = Univ of Washington</p>
<p>Michigan over either UW. Now c’mon!</p>
<p>Yes, c’mon. UM is NOT always the best.</p>

<p>Sure barrons. Where is Michigan rated in bioengineering at the graduate level? I’d say not too far off the top ten. Face it, Michigan is better in engineering OVERALL than the other two schools mentioned. Oh by they way, Michigan is tied for 7th at the UNDERGRADUATE level in biomedical engineering. Wisky and Washington are nowhere to be found in the top ten. I’m sure the OP is more concerned at this point about his undergraduate education.</p>
<p>barrons, those are grad school rankings…geeesh!..;)</p>
<p>UCB. It’s obvious that barrons went through all of the engineering sub specialties at both grad and undergrad levels before he could find one area that Wash or Wisc would be higher rated than Michigan.</p>
<p>undergrad biomedical engineering ranking:</p>
<p>Best Colleges Specialty Rankings: Undergraduate engineering specialties: Biomedical </p>
<p>1 Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD
2 Duke University Durham, NC
3 Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA
4 University of California–San Diego La Jolla, CA
5 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA
6 Case Western Reserve University Cleveland, OH
7 University of Michigan–Ann Arbor Ann Arbor, MI
7 University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA
9 Boston University Boston, MA
10 Rice University Houston, TX </p>
<p>OP,
Personally, I would not major in biomedical engineering…it’s too limiting. I would major in one of the broader, more traditional engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical or chemical.</p>
<p>What school is cheaper for you? Both will provide a great engineering education.</p>
<p>I just checked the rankings on USNWR and I do see that U-Wisconsin is rated higher overall at the UG level than Michigan in chemical engineering, so I stand corrected. I still don’t see in any engineering specialty where U-Washington is ranked higher than Michigan at the UG level.</p>
<p>I wonder how one can be better at one level (grad) than the other (undergrad) when you are talking the same department, same facilities, etc. Just seems odd. And when I googled rankings for biomed eng that’s the first that came up. I hardly took the time to go through all of them.</p>
<p>^ I agree with you, barrons…I was just giving you a bad time.</p>
<p>I know but I don’t think rjk was in on the joke. I do know Washington is very good in all things medically related as besides the Udub there are a large number of biomed/biotech companies and private research institutes around town. In the good old days there was a new bio related start-up every week.</p>
<p>What about Direct Admissions into a University of Washington department as a freshman vs. UMich engineering</p>
<p>Michigan!!!</p>
<p>For Engineering, Michigan is excellent (top 10) and UDub is very good (top 20).</p>
<p>If cost is not an issue, I would recommend Michigan. However, if one school is significantly cheaper and your folksaren’t very well off, go to the cheaper option.</p>
