<p>Are the ivies good in engineering? It depends on which Ivy you are talking about. You can almost rank the Ivies in engineering by turning the overall prestige ranking upside-down, except for Princeton, which is very strong in engineering and high in overall prestige among Ivies. </p>
<p>I think Cornell is one of the two best undergraduate programs for engineering in the country, along with Stanford, based on a combination of teaching, faculty contact, resources, academic rigor, campus climate. Princeton is smaller but also excellent. Then Columbia. Then Penn. Brown is strong in biomedical, so it depends also on which field of engineering. Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth have some very bright engineering students but the academic programs there are bare-bones minimal.</p>
